Therapeutic Approaches for Online Work

Esther Reynolds blends client-centered methods with practical skills-based therapies to support change in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience without judgment, creating space for clients to identify their own goals and move toward them at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to recognize and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-compassion techniques that help reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Esther works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then recommends or adapts methods that fit the individual. She sees the therapeutic relationship as a partnership in which the client’s priorities guide the plan.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds practical flexibility to that collaboration. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home. Licensed professionals can deliver many forms of effective therapy through these formats while working with clients to find what feels most helpful.
