Integrative approaches for online therapy and remote care

Dr. Annabel Fields commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy, with mindfulness-based techniques woven into treatment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, anger, and other symptoms, offering practical tools for coping and problem solving. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens closely and supports the client's own goals and insights; this approach is useful for building self-esteem, addressing relationship and identity concerns, and navigating life changes. Mindfulness techniques teach present-moment awareness and stress management skills that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Fields works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in session, and she adapts methods over time to match changing needs. Clients are active partners in shaping their care.

Online therapy with Dr. Fields is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, those managing health or mobility challenges, and people living outside a therapist's immediate area. These options make it easier to attend sessions consistently and to access support in ways that fit everyday life.
