Approaches used in online therapy and what to expect
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience and priorities. It helps people who need a supportive space to explore feelings, build self-esteem, and make personal decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that explores the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress and coping skills by teaching tools that can change unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and underlying emotional themes that influence current relationships and behavior, which can be useful for understanding long-standing difficulties and improving relational functioning.
Choosing the most helpful approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kelley Ryan works collaboratively with clients to identify goals and preferences, and together they determine which methods or combination of methods fit best for a person’s needs. This collaborative planning guides how sessions proceed and how progress is measured.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexibility in scheduling and the ability to meet from home or other convenient locations. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing clients to pick the format that works best for their routines and comfort. Licensed professionals can provide effective care through these modalities while adapting techniques to the online setting.
