How her approaches work online
Rev. Rhoda Stuart uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, anger, or low self-esteem. CBT focuses on noticing patterns, testing new ways of thinking, and practicing small behavior changes to improve day-to-day functioning. She also uses solution-focused therapy which concentrates on clear, achievable goals and on building practical steps that show progress quickly.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life demands with each client and together decide which methods fit best. Plans are adjusted as needed so the work stays relevant and manageable between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and eye contact. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
