Online support options
Approaches that fit into online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience and priorities. It helps people clarify their goals and feel respected while they try new strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotions and patterns in relationships to improve connection and manage conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tricia will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest strategies that fit those factors. The selection of methods is collaborative and can change as goals shift.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, shorter or longer contacts, and follow-up between sessions.
