Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Geri Burgess draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices to tailor work to each person. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, allowing clients to lead the pace of change while feeling heard and respected. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and improve coping strategies. Mindfulness therapy introduces gentle present-focused attention and breathing practices to increase awareness and reduce reactivity, supporting stress management and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Geri works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they adapt techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily life, and they expand access for clients who live far away or travel frequently. Geri uses these formats to provide consistent, compassionate care that fits into each client’s routine.
