Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and perspectives, offering a supportive space where a licensed professional helps the individual explore feelings and develop self-awareness. This approach can be especially helpful for people seeking validation and personal growth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It is practical and skills-based, and it often helps with mood concerns, anxiety, and coping with stressful situations.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift emotional responses that affect relationships. It is useful for improving connection, communication, and attachment patterns between partners or within families.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Stacy Leo works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and connect with therapists from home or other convenient locations.
