Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Elizabeth McKinley integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in an online setting. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work - it is helpful for exploring identity, relationships, and self-worth. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to manage mood, anxiety, and stress-related symptoms, making it useful for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with each person to select methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as things evolve so therapy remains relevant and effective.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, and caregiving responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and access licensed professionals when in-person visits are difficult, while preserving the core therapeutic relationship and the ability to work toward meaningful change.
