Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps people clarify what they want to change. This approach is useful for folks coping with grief, low self-esteem, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, obsessions, and addiction-related behaviors.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and change negative interaction patterns in close relationships. It guides people to express core emotions and build new ways of connecting, which can help with intimacy issues, jealousy, and infidelity concerns.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist work together to find methods that fit their situation.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows for face-to-face interaction and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer quick, flexible ways to stay connected between meetings and to track progress over time.
