Therapeutic Approaches Applied to Online Care
Summyr Harris commonly integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people through emotional and relational challenges. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client’s experience, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting so individuals feel heard and understood - this approach is often helpful for improving self-awareness, attachment concerns, and relationship dynamics. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and anger.She also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy when clients need skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal boundaries. Determining which approach or combination of approaches fits best is part of the therapeutic process - the therapist and client work together to tailor methods to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow people to participate from familiar settings, and create multiple ways to communicate so therapy can adapt to different lifestyles and needs.
