Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Cara Harper draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing to tailor work to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a supportive space that helps individuals explore feelings, build self-awareness, and strengthen relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative style that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation to change, which can be especially useful with addictions and habit-driven challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cara works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and stage of change. She adjusts techniques over time to respond to progress and evolving needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access consistent support from licensed professionals without rearranging large parts of daily life, helping people engage in therapy in ways that suit them best.
