04Online support
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship first. The therapist creates a respectful space, reflects what the client says, and helps the client identify strengths and values to guide change. This approach is useful for people who want support in sorting through feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It often includes simple exercises between sessions to practice new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, and trouble with eating or self-esteem.
Solution-focused therapy looks for what is already working and builds on small successes. It helps set clear, short-term goals and creates step-by-step plans so clients can see progress quickly. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process may combine approaches and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and parenting schedules.
