Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Support
Rayner draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), along with solution-focused techniques, to shape her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and acceptance, helping people process emotions, rebuild self-esteem, and explore goals in a supportive way - it is often useful for grief, relationship concerns, and struggles with self-image. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on strengths and small, achievable steps toward preferred outcomes, which can be helpful for career decisions, coping with transitions, and short-term goals.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. She works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the approach as progress is made. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly blend elements from these approaches to create an individualized plan that feels right for the client.
Online sessions - whether by video call, phone conversation, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or caregiving responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain consistent support from home or another convenient location and allow the therapist and client to tailor session length and frequency to changing circumstances.
