Therapeutic approaches and online support

Torri Mills-Raikes often draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic relationship where the client's own goals and values guide the work. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to explore feelings and decisions. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that examines how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers tools for managing anxiety, mood concerns, and panic. For those affected by past harm, Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address the specific impacts of traumatic experiences and to build strategies for recovery and stabilization.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself, and Torri works collaboratively with clients to identify the methods best suited to their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These formats support flexibility in scheduling, allow ongoing contact between appointments when appropriate, and can help people engage in therapy in ways that match their comfort and practical needs.
