Online support options
How evidence-based approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on each person’s strengths. In online sessions this means the therapist follows your lead, reflects what you say, and helps set goals that match your priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often includes short exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments you can try between appointments to reduce anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and recommend approaches that fit. That process is collaborative and may combine methods over time until a good fit is found.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you use visual cues and do longer sessions, phone can be helpful when bandwidth is low, live chat works for quicker check-ins, and text messaging lets you send brief updates or get support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or school commitments.
