Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Support



Lindsay Hager draws from several well-established methods to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and prioritizing the client’s perspective - it helps people feel heard and build self-awareness, which is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that looks at patterns of thought and behavior; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, and coping skills by teaching practical strategies to shift unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, offering tools to manage stress, emotional reactivity, and rumination.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lindsay works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods align with their goals, preferences, and needs, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access support from home or elsewhere. Licensed professionals can deliver effective, evidence-based techniques remotely, allowing clients to work on goals and skills in ways that suit their lives.
