Online support options
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. That means the therapist follows the person’s concerns and supports their decisions, which works well over video or phone when someone needs a responsive listener.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Online sessions can include brief skill practice, homework, and step-by-step problem solving to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood.
Solution-focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical changes and clear goals. In virtual sessions the therapist and client set targets, track progress, and adjust plans between meetings to keep momentum.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills work, reflective listening, or brief goal-focused strategies and revisit that plan as needed.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days. Live chat or text messaging allow short check-ins, quick coaching, or session-style exchanges when time is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a routine while working on concrete changes.
