Therapeutic approaches for online care
Margaret Kei integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused techniques into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and helps the client explore their own values and goals - this approach is useful for building trust, self-esteem, and motivation for change. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing distressing experiences and reducing trauma-related symptoms using tailored strategies, and it is particularly relevant for clients coping with abuse, post-traumatic stress, and related challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Margaret works with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible options that fit many lifestyles - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule consistent care, access support from home, and continue work between sessions, helping clients sustain momentum toward their therapeutic goals.
