04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Dr. Starks uses client-centered work to place your concerns and goals at the center of each session. That means sessions begin with careful listening, and the pace and topics follow what matters most to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to practice new behaviors that can produce different results.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with you to choose or combine methods that match your needs, goals, and preferences. Over early sessions she checks what is helpful and adjusts plans so work stays practical and focused on change.
Online therapy offers options to fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels useful. Phone sessions can be a simpler way to check in when video is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging help with brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These choices make it simpler to keep momentum and access care from different settings.
