Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them. It is commonly used for issues such as anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related problems and emphasizes skill-building and measurable goals.

Existential Therapy helps clients explore meaning, values, and life choices when facing feelings of emptiness, isolation, or major life transitions. It supports people working through questions about purpose, midlife concerns, and difficult personal decisions by examining how values and responsibility shape well-being.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity to stress and help manage emotions. It is often paired with other approaches to address symptoms of anxiety, trauma-related distress, and mood regulation challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration may shape a treatment plan that draws on one or more approaches over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult to arrange. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to deliver focused, goal-oriented work tailored to each client.
