Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building an accepting, empathetic relationship that helps people explore their feelings and identify their own solutions. This approach can be especially helpful for concerns like self-esteem, relationship struggles, and motivation by emphasizing understanding and personal growth.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based method that examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches tools and strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and unhelpful thinking patterns, and can be applied to challenges related to addiction or mood changes.
Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve ambivalence about change by exploring personal values and strengthening internal motivation. It is often used when clients are weighing decisions about substance use, habit change, or other behavior shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. As a licensed professional, Mary Dowdle works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her approach as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow clients to fit care into busy schedules and choose the format that feels most comfortable. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access support from home, and continue work on treatment goals across different life circumstances.
