Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Dr. Hoskins integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) into her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the individual’s perspective and builds on their strengths by creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where personal goals guide the pace and focus of treatment. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. EFT concentrates on emotional experience and attachment patterns within relationships, helping people and couples understand and shift interaction cycles that contribute to distress.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Dr. Hoskins works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and tailors a therapeutic plan that may draw on one or more approaches as appropriate. This partnership helps ensure interventions align with what matters most to the client.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These remote formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere, accommodate busy lives, and support continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult.
