Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Heather often draws on client-centered therapy, an approach that prioritizes the individual's perspective and strengths, allowing the client to lead the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist offers empathetic support and reflection. This approach can be especially helpful for identity-related concerns and for people who value an exploratory, supportive process.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety and depression. CBT offers structured tools for changing unhelpful patterns and addressing day-to-day challenges.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is another option that provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense mood fluctuations and relationship stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together - Heather collaborates with each person to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress is made.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it possible to access therapy with licensed professionals from different locations and can offer greater scheduling flexibility. These options allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that align with their daily life and comfort level, while keeping the focus on meaningful progress and practical support.
