Approaches in Online Therapy with Angela Hastings
Angela integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client sets goals and the therapist provides supportive guidance - it is useful for navigating life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and eating-related issues.
She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) strategies when needed, teaching skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - these techniques can be helpful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and self-harm urges. Determining the best mix of approaches is a collaborative process; Angela works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and the strategies that feel most effective and feasible.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and access. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from their own environments, making it easier to maintain consistency and fit support into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists to make meaningful progress.
