Approaches for Online Healing and Recovery
Linda Baxter draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques to support people in online care. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s goals guide the work and the therapist acts as a supportive collaborator. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and acceptance skills that help individuals respond to difficult emotions and cravings with greater clarity and choice.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Linda works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors interventions so the methods fit the individual’s life and challenges rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain regular care around work, family, and recovery commitments, and they support continuity of treatment when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver many of the same therapeutic techniques used in traditional office settings, helping clients move toward their goals in ways that fit their daily routines.
