Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care



Dr. Benjamin Lasky commonly draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, and solution-focused techniques in his online practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and empowering the individual to explore their values and goals, making it useful for relationship, identity, and grief work. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on strengths and practical steps toward specific goals, often helping clients make progress more quickly with issues like stress, coping with life changes, and problem solving.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Lasky works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts methods accordingly so that therapy aligns with what the client finds most helpful and doable.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people access care. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions provide an audio-only option, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit those who prefer brief, written exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to connect with licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, increasing accessibility for ongoing support.
