Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach helps people who want a supportive space to explore feelings, increase self-awareness, and make choices that reflect their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies for identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and it can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change - often helpful for behavior changes like improving sleep, addressing eating concerns, or making career shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey, and Lisa will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can blend techniques so treatment remains flexible and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives: clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit their schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapy into everyday routines, while licensed professionals adapt their methods to work effectively in each format.
