Therapeutic approaches and online care
Twynesha "Nicole" Reed integrates evidence-based methods into online sessions to meet each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is often used to address anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and trauma-related symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention and breathing strategies to reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and support coping with worry or racing thoughts. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients build self-awareness and confidence while navigating parenting, relationship, or identity concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjusts strategies over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of support with licensed professionals and therapists when in-person visits are not possible.
