Approaches that guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are. In this approach a therapist follows the client's lead, helping them explore their values and strengths so they can make choices that feel right for their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to shift patterns that contribute to distress; it is often used to address anxiety, low mood, and habit changes. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, especially useful for stages of transition or when making difficult behavior changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Toni will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to fit care into their schedules and life circumstances. These options can make it easier to access consistent support, maintain momentum between sessions, and engage in therapy in a way that feels convenient and sustainable.
