Online support options
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect for the client's own goals. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what is said, and helps build confidence and clarity about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift emotional responses in close relationships to improve connection and reduce conflict.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest options to try. Sessions may blend methods until a good fit emerges, and adjustments are made based on progress and feedback.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief support, reflections between sessions, or tracking small steps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity over time.
