Practical approaches for online therapy
Rhonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT often focuses on small, doable changes in thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve daily functioning.Her sessions are collaborative. Together a person and the therapist decide which strategies fit their goals and preferences. That makes it easier to try approaches and adjust them if they do not feel right.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when a visual connection helps. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for short updates, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, family time, or other commitments while keeping focus on practical skills and steady progress.
