Online support options
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and priorities. It relies on active listening and reflection so people feel heard and can choose the changes they want to make. This approach helps with stress, relationship concerns, grief, and building motivation.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, identifies patterns of thinking that get in the way and then tests new, more helpful behaviors. It is practical and skill-based, useful for anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, and many daily struggles. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammi will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and situation. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques so sessions remain useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief updates, coping tools between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while using the chosen therapeutic approaches.
