Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Lisa Kelbaugh integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps clients build more secure ways of relating - useful for relationship, family, and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic stance that centers the client's experience and supports self-discovery and personal growth - it is helpful for self-esteem, life transitions, and caregiving stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Lisa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative process ensures the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how care is delivered - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so clients can engage in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy seasons of life, caregiving periods, or when travel or mobility are concerns, while still receiving guidance from a licensed professional.
