Approaches that guide online care and therapeutic work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's experience - the therapist follows the client's lead, listens deeply, and helps create a supportive space for exploring goals and values. This approach is useful for people seeking empathy, validation, and a partnership in change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and learning practical strategies to shift them. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and behaviors that interfere with daily functioning. The Gottman Method offers structured tools and communication techniques for couples, targeting relationship patterns, conflict management, and emotional connection.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. This exploration can include trying specific techniques and adjusting the plan over time to meet evolving priorities.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility and accessibility for busy schedules, geographically dispersed clients, or those who prefer remote care. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver evidence-informed interventions, coordinate goals, and maintain regular contact while accommodating different communication styles and routines.
