Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Cherri McCord draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in online settings. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and collaboration, helping individuals explore their values and goals while feeling understood and respected. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

She also integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities. DBT-based skills teach concrete strategies for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can complement other therapeutic work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process - Cherri will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions may occur by video call or phone, and shorter interactions are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapeutic work into a busy life, reduce travel time, and maintain ongoing support across changeable schedules.
