Online support options
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting each person to set their own goals. It helps people who want a respectful, steady place to talk through values and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and routines and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their concerns, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with brief, solution-focused steps and adding CBT tools or mindfulness exercises as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio-only check-in fits better. Live chat and messaging work well for short updates, step-by-step coaching, or when regular written check-ins help people track progress. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
