04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in ways that fit remote work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing new skills to change how daily life feels. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on easing the impact of traumatic memories and symptoms through grounding, pacing, and step-by-step processing tailored to the person’s readiness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, and will adapt methods as sessions progress. This collaborative process helps match techniques to what feels most useful and doable in everyday life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes therapy easier to fit into busy days. Video supports face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or useful when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people send thoughts between sessions or choose text conversations instead of speaking aloud. These options increase flexibility and help people access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without rearranging large parts of their lives.
