Therapeutic approaches for remote care and support
Octavia commonly integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the client’s perspective and building a trusting, empathetic relationship - it is useful for exploring self-esteem, relationships, and life purpose. CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and habits, then develops practical tools to manage anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and grounding practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation during periods of grief, guilt, or shame.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Octavia works together with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors techniques and pacing so the therapeutic plan fits day-to-day life. This partnership helps ensure the method feels relevant and manageable.
Online sessions offer flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow people to engage in therapy from different locations and on schedules that suit them. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency, access support during transitions, and integrate new skills into everyday routines.
