Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Gwendolyn Sanders integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can explore their feelings and identify personal goals - this approach is especially useful for relationship concerns, grief, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers structured tools that can be applied to everyday situations and family or caregiving challenges. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which can be helpful with commitment issues, care decisions, or lifestyle adjustments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sanders works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility and easier access to ongoing support. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions around work, caregiving responsibilities, or other commitments and help maintain continuity of care even when life is busy or circumstances change.
