Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Holly Goodman draws from client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic environment that prioritizes each person's perspective and goals. This approach emphasizes listening and collaboration, and it can be especially helpful for issues around self-esteem, life transitions and relationship concerns.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. CBT offers concrete strategies for changing patterns that contribute to emotional distress.

Motivational interviewing is another tool Holly employs when clients face ambivalence about change, such as with addictions or lifestyle shifts. This collaborative, nonjudgmental method helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build internal motivation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Holly works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes and access licensed professionals from different locations.
