Online approaches for grief, growth, and resilience
Dr. Mitstifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - a practical approach that supports mood management, anxiety reduction, and problem solving around life or career transitions. She also teaches Mindfulness Therapy, which builds present-moment awareness and simple relaxation skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation; this method often helps people coping with grief, stress, and chronic medical issues. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients seek change but feel ambivalent - it helps clarify values, increase motivation, and set achievable steps toward goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Mitstifer collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds and combining techniques when that best supports recovery and growth.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules, energy levels, and comfort. Working remotely makes it easier for people managing medical appointments, caregiving responsibilities, or busy work lives to access licensed professionals and therapists without sacrificing continuity of care or momentum in treatment.
