Therapeutic Approaches That Work Well Online
Therese integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathic relationship and helps clients explore their feelings and values in a supportive setting - it is useful for issues like grief, life transitions, and self-worth. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.
She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help clients develop present-moment awareness and coping strategies for overwhelming emotions and stress. These approaches can be tailored to each person, and Therese collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences as part of the therapeutic process.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility - Therese provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. This range of options makes it easier for clients to maintain continuity of care and access support from home, at work, or while managing caregiving and health-related responsibilities.
