Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Support
Ingrid commonly draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while exploring their own goals and solutions - this approach can be helpful for building confidence and addressing relationship or life-direction concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and developing practical tools to change those patterns - CBT is often useful for managing stress, anxiety, and mood-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Ingrid works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds so the plan stays aligned with the client’s priorities.
Online therapy with Ingrid is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into a busy life, and access licensed professionals without the need to travel to an office.
