Approaches that guide online therapy and remote support



Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the individual’s experience and priorities, creating space for the client to steer the conversation while the therapist offers empathy and support. This approach is helpful for building trust, exploring identity and relationship concerns, and shaping goals that feel meaningful to the client.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with everyday challenges by teaching skills that can be used between sessions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses symptoms and impacts of traumatic experiences with care and pacing tailored to each person. It combines supportive, grounding techniques with structured interventions to help reduce the long-term effects of trauma on relationships, mood, and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and April collaborates with clients to determine which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences. She works together with each person to adjust techniques over time so the work feels effective and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent care around work, family, or mobility constraints. These remote formats support continuity of treatment, allow for timely check-ins, and can make it simpler to practice new skills in everyday settings.
