Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens carefully and follows the client's lead. This approach helps people explore their values, build self-understanding, and make changes at a pace that feels right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and exercises, often supporting progress with measurable steps for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of working that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change by exploring personal goals and values.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Keara will partner with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress unfolds. That collaborative process ensures the plan aligns with what matters most to the client.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy life or to connect when in-person meetings are difficult. These options allow clients to maintain continuity of care and to choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for their situation.
