04Online support
Approaches for online therapy and personal change
LaVina uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT offers clear techniques for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and everyday stress. Jungian-informed ideas help explore personal symbols, life patterns, and deeper meaning when clients want to understand recurring themes in their lives.Finding the right approach is part of the work. LaVina will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then blend methods collaboratively. She adapts plans over time so the approach matches changing needs and what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in fits a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can support shorter updates, coaching-style work, or ongoing check-ins between longer sessions.
