Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and respect, helping clients explore their feelings and values while the therapist follows the client’s lead; it is often helpful for building self-understanding, strengthening self-worth, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective strategies; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying immediate goals and small, achievable steps toward change, making it useful when clients want short-term strategies to address specific problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Teris works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate progress and adjust strategies so therapy remains aligned with what the client hopes to accomplish.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when clients connect, with options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward meaningful, practical outcomes.
