Approaches and Online Care with a Licensed Social Worker

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the individual leads the conversation and the therapist offers support and empathy. This approach helps people clarify values, build self-worth, and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a goal-oriented method that examines the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, strengths-based technique that helps people explore ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change, often used for issues involving behavior change and readiness to act.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joy Gumm works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best given their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the approach as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options that make it easier to access consistent care. Video calls and phone sessions provide face-to-face interaction, while live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins and ongoing support between appointments. These formats give people flexibility to fit therapy into their schedules and to work with licensed professionals from locations that are convenient for them.
