Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cora Strickland uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills like behavioral activation and relaxation techniques to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused method that helps people explore their readiness for change and strengthen internal motivation when facing challenges such as addictions or ambivalence about life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Strickland works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so treatment remains aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy with Strickland is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or clients who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
