Background and approach
She uses empathy and practical conversation to find what is getting in the way of daily life. Then she and the client look for small, doable changes to try between sessions. Dr.
Thompson draws on several well-known methods to tailor work to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the client’s goals and values central.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Dr. Thompson commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing small changes to see what helps, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and routine problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client’s own goals so the person leads the pace and focus of change.She may also use EMDR as part of trauma-focused work when appropriate. EMDR involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their impact and can be used alongside other methods for trauma and abuse recovery.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on progress and preference. Clients help set goals and decide which methods feel most helpful over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are a good fit when bandwidth is limited or clients prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, family, or school schedules.
