Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Olivia Kennedy integrates several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in online sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating - it helps people understand and change difficult interpersonal dynamics and build more secure connections. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the client’s own goals and self-directed growth, which can be especially helpful for exploring identity, purpose, and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Olivia works collaboratively with each person to select methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into busy schedules and different life circumstances. For many people, remote options make it easier to maintain consistency, try different session formats, and continue therapy from locations across New Jersey when needed.
