Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Care
Angela Blake commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person's own goals and insights guide the process - it helps with building self-esteem and resolving interpersonal concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical approach that explores the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple practices that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which can be useful for coping with overwhelming feelings and daily stressors.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Angela collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to what works for the individual.
Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow ongoing support in ways that suit different lifestyles and communication preferences.
