Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the individual as the expert in their own experience and emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration. It helps people explore their feelings, make sense of life changes, and build self-compassion and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that identifies and changes unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing symptoms of ADHD or mood concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques to reduce rumination and increase emotional regulation, which can support sleep, stress management, and coping with grief or chronic challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Bachmann works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she tailors care as those needs evolve. This partnership helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions occur - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapeutic work into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options can improve consistency of care and allow clients to engage in ways that feel most comfortable and practical for them.
