Collaborative Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Lauren Hawkins draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and listening so clients can explore their own goals and values; it is helpful for improving self-esteem, processing life transitions, and strengthening relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and developing practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress.She also incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when appropriate - teaching emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be especially useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties. Treatment choices are made collaboratively, with Lauren helping clients evaluate which approaches best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences so therapy is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or life changes occur, and access consistent support from licensed professionals. The emphasis remains on practical, evidence-informed strategies that can be used in everyday life.
