Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Ursula Merritt uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.She also applies Motivational Interviewing to support people who are weighing change or working through ambivalence. This approach centers on conversation that boosts motivation and helps clients set their own goals, which can be helpful for addictions and behavior change.
Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool in her practice, emphasizing small, achievable steps and what is already working in a person’s life. This method can speed progress when clients want focused, goal-directed work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Ursula collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility and access to consistent care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
