Therapeutic approaches for online care
Jamie Schwartz uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic environment where the client's values and pace guide the work. This approach emphasizes understanding the person's experience and supporting self-directed change, which can be helpful for people seeking a supportive, nonjudgmental space.She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often used for concerns such as anxiety, depression, and patterns that maintain distress.
Motivational interviewing is another approach Jamie uses when readiness for change is variable, particularly around substance use. This collaborative technique helps people explore their own motivations and build commitment to realistic next steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Jamie works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, support continuity of care across locations, and allow clients to engage in the format that feels most comfortable.
