Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and supports the client’s own goals and pace. It is helpful for people who want empathetic, collaborative care while they explore identity, self-worth, or relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, achievable goals and small steps toward change, making it useful for clients seeking concrete progress on specific problems.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Karla will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made. This collaborative exploration helps ensure sessions stay relevant and productive.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions provide a simple audio option, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit into busy schedules or serve as a way to check in between longer sessions. These options make it easier for clients in different locations or with varied routines to access consistent care from licensed professionals and therapists.
