Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Laurie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, low motivation, and improving daily routines. Narrative Therapy is another tool she uses to reframe the stories people tell about themselves and their challenges. It helps when past events or repeated patterns keep someone feeling stuck.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to build concrete steps toward immediate goals. This approach highlights strengths and small changes that lead to measurable progress. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which approach or combination fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging lets people send updates between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into work, family life, or other routines while keeping the focus on practical progress.
