Approaches and Benefits of Online Therapeutic Care
Shirley commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients set the pace and topics of exploration. This approach helps people build self-awareness, confidence, and a clearer sense of their own goals.She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that examines patterns of thought and behavior to develop coping strategies for anxiety, depression, stress, and related concerns. CBT often involves collaborative problem solving and skill building to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Motivational interviewing is another tool Shirley employs to help clients who are ambivalent about change. This approach uses respectful, goal-focused conversations to increase motivation and support steps toward healthier choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shirley works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting methods over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options allow clients to connect with licensed professionals from locations that work best for them while accessing the same core therapeutic approaches used in traditional settings.
