Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Dr. Caren Longsworth integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques to adapt to each person's needs.

Cognitive behavioral therapy addresses unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention practices into sessions to help people stay present and reduce reactivity, which can support coping with trauma, grief, and daily stressors.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Longsworth works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective for each person.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to access licensed professionals from their own home, workplace, or while traveling within the same region. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
