Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care
LaDawna Thomas draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT focuses on practical skills and small changes in thinking and behavior, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.
She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices teach techniques for grounding attention and managing strong emotions, which can support regulation and reduce rumination.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past traumatic experiences affect current functioning. This approach prioritizes safety, pacing, and strategies that help people process trauma in ways that reduce its impact on daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. LaDawna works with each client to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts methods over time so care fits the person rather than asking the person to fit a single model.
Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity across life transitions, and receive consistent support from a distance.
