Online support options
Approaches that guide online care
Client-centered therapy starts with where the person is. The therapist listens closely, follows each person's priorities, and helps shape goals that matter to them. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to sort through feelings and decide what to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It includes practical exercises and small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and lift mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches ways to notice and tolerate distressing feelings without getting swept away, which can help with stress, worry, and trauma symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss different options and help decide what fits best with a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people see facial cues and have richer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when writing out thoughts feels clearer. These formats offer flexibility and multiple ways to keep moving forward.
