Online support options
How her approaches fit online therapy
Dr. Smith commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make online sessions feel focused and collaborative. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and following the client's lead to understand what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides clear, practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy for people wanting to improve connection and communication in close relationships. EFT helps people identify emotions that drive interaction patterns and supports building new ways of responding that increase closeness and trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Smith will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time based on progress and feedback.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling around work, caregiving, and health needs while keeping therapy consistent.
