Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Elizabeth Cook uses client-centered therapy to build a collaborative relationship where the client’s perspective directs the pace and focus of work - this approach helps people feel heard and helps uncover personal strengths useful for coping with stress, grief, or life transitions. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing practical strategies to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, low self-esteem, or relationship difficulties. Solution-focused therapy is used to set clear, achievable goals and highlight small steps clients can take to create meaningful change, which can be especially helpful for managing caregiver stress and navigating practical challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Elizabeth works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape each session and the overall plan for progress.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging increases flexibility so clients can access therapy around work, caregiving, or health constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who focus on practical, client-centered support.
