Client-centered and CBT approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead to explore feelings, values, and goals. This approach is useful for people navigating life transitions, relationship or parenting concerns, self-esteem issues, and the emotional impacts of trauma.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to change behaviors and reactions. CBT is commonly used to address anxiety, depression, OCD symptoms, panic, and stress by teaching skills for managing difficult thoughts and reducing avoidance.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what is most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy schedule or connect from different locations. Working with licensed professionals via these options can increase accessibility and make consistent progress more achievable for many people.
