Therapeutic Approaches for Online Sessions

Raegan Caras integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online work to meet clients where they are and address a range of concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, accepting environment in which clients can explore feelings and values; it is helpful for relationship struggles, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete skills for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention and grounding techniques to reduce reactivity and manage stress, which can support coping with trauma, grief, and everyday overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Raegan will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor methods that feel like the best fit. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work evolves with their progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when sessions happen, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from familiar settings while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
