Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own perspective and strengths, with the therapist providing a supportive, nonjudgmental environment to help the person explore feelings and make meaningful changes. This approach is useful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping skills development by teaching practical strategies that can be applied between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic experiences through techniques that help process memories and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life, which can be especially helpful for survivors of abuse, assault, or other traumatic events.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Tonesha works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and together they select or adapt methods that fit the client’s situation. This flexibility helps ensure the work feels relevant and practical for each person.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and engage with licensed professionals and therapists from a convenient location. Online work still centers on the therapeutic relationship and practical strategies to support progress over time.
