Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Roxane uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities guide the work. This approach focuses on active listening and empathy to help clients explore values, build self-awareness, and set goals that feel personally meaningful.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. CBT offers concrete tools for changing behaviors and responses that contribute to emotional distress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports individuals and couples in understanding emotional patterns and strengthening attachment and connection. EFT can be especially helpful for relationship conflicts, intimacy issues, and healing from attachment-related wounds.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Roxane works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as those needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from home or other convenient locations. These options can increase continuity of care and make it simpler to try different formats until the best fit is found.
