Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, understanding therapeutic relationship where the client's perspectives and goals guide the work. This approach is helpful for people seeking personal growth, improved self-understanding, and stronger decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical techniques to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, making it effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges. Mindfulness Therapy incorporates present-moment awareness and acceptance practices to help manage stress, emotional reactivity, and attention-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Rooney and other licensed professionals work collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match the client's needs, goals, and preferences, and they adapt strategies as the work evolves.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions occur - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life transitions, and access support from home. These options allow therapists and clients to focus on practical progress and consistent engagement regardless of location.
