Client-centered and cognitive approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and mirrors the client’s perspective. This approach supports personal growth, self-exploration, and building self-esteem by prioritizing the client’s own goals and pace. It can be especially helpful for people navigating changes in confidence, relationships, or emotional recovery.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress, mood challenges, and patterns that maintain difficulties such as avoidance or negative self-talk.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Lisa McDonald works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds so the plan remains practical and client-centered.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access consistent support from licensed professionals without rearranging their whole schedule. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats, and choose what feels most comfortable during each stage of therapy.
