Approaches that guide online care
Yvette uses client-centered work to build a clear picture of what each person wants to change, then tailors the sessions to those goals. This approach focuses on listening, validating feelings, and helping people make choices that fit their lives.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and develop different ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives concrete skills to practice between sessions.
Choosing an approach is part of the process and the therapist treats it as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about what feels most helpful, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on progress and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see and hear each other for in-depth conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can make it easier to keep momentum between sessions or to fit support into a busy day.
