How Cognitive Behavioral Strategies Translate to Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-focused approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT typically involves learning specific tools - like thought restructuring, behavioral experiments, and activity scheduling - that can be practiced between sessions to build lasting change.

Alongside CBT, K​im​ber​ly McKenzie emphasizes a tailored, client-centered approach in which conversations and plans are adapted to each person’s unique situation. This means the therapist and client work together to select techniques and set goals that match the client’s needs, preferences, and daily life, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people seeking this kind of work. Video calls and phone sessions allow for full conversations and real-time skill coaching, while live chat and text-based messaging can provide flexibility for shorter check-ins, homework support, or moments when scheduling a longer session is difficult. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care across changing circumstances, helping licensed professionals and clients collaborate effectively toward meaningful goals.
