Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Lisa Kennedy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy as core elements of her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to change behavior and emotional responses, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and acceptance techniques that help people manage overwhelming emotions and build coping skills for trauma, grief, and everyday stress.
She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client s experiences and goals guide the pace and focus of treatment. Choosing the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process - Lisa will work with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences and will adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility allows clients to fit sessions into busy lives, access care from different locations within the therapist s scope of practice, and maintain continuity during life transitions, while working with licensed professionals who tailor treatment to individual circumstances.
