How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and supports the client's own insights and choices. This approach is useful when someone needs space to explore values, identity, and personal goals.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses and attachment patterns, often used in relationship work and for individuals struggling with intense emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Reiser works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as those needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing therapy to fit into busy schedules and different life circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or while traveling, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each stage of work.
