Approaches for Online Support and Therapeutic Growth
Client-centered therapy centers the person and their goals, offering a warm, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to build self-awareness and personal meaning. This approach can be especially helpful for people seeking support through transitions or wanting to better understand their values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to develop specific coping skills.
Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance techniques to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation. These practices can support stress management and improve tolerance for difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laine collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as work progresses so therapy remains relevant and effective.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and allow people to access therapy from familiar environments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy lives, work commitments, or caregiving responsibilities while working with licensed professionals and therapists to pursue meaningful change.
