Client-centered and trauma-informed approaches for online care



Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental environment where the client guides the pace and priorities of sessions. This approach helps people explore their values, make decisions, and build confidence in their own problem-solving abilities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured method that identifies and changes unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. It offers practical strategies and exercises to shift patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing impact, using paced, therapeutic techniques tailored to the person’s readiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kay collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the plan remains practical and responsive to progress.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes these therapeutic approaches more accessible and flexible. Remote options allow people to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations, and to continue care from different locations when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered, CBT, and trauma-focused techniques effectively in virtual formats to support consistent treatment and onward progress.
