Therapeutic Approaches for Online Sessions

CBT is often applied to stress, anxiety, depression, and difficulties with coping and self-esteem because it focuses on changing thoughts and actions in day-to-day life.Mindfulness Therapy is used to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to distressing thoughts and feelings. This approach supports improved emotional regulation and can be helpful for clients dealing with anxiety, grief, anger, and life transitions.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients’ strengths and immediate goals, guiding brief, goal-directed conversations that generate concrete steps and measurable progress. It can be particularly useful for relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and navigating specific life changes.
