Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s perspective guides the pace and goals of therapy. It helps people explore feelings, build self-understanding, and increase self-compassion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier coping strategies; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Cara works with clients to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and tailors the therapeutic plan accordingly, adjusting methods over time to find the best fit.
Online therapy sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and everyday life. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations and can support ongoing progress when in-person visits are not possible.
