Integrative Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s pace and priorities - this approach supports people working through life changes, grief, relationship concerns, and questions about purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and building practical skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and techniques to manage overwhelming emotions and increase self-compassion, which can be helpful for trauma recovery, anger, and compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Corliss Ivy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time so the work remains responsive and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to maintain continuity of care during busy or transitional times. For many people, these options increase accessibility and make consistent therapeutic work more achievable with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual circumstances.
