Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Velma Stevens draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic space in which the client’s own goals and experiences shape the work; it is particularly useful for building trust, exploring relationship concerns, and strengthening self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it is commonly applied to stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and problem-solving around day-to-day difficulties.

She also incorporates motivational interviewing when a client is weighing change or needs help finding internal motivation to address behaviors or life transitions. All of this is offered collaboratively - she works with each person to determine which approaches align best with their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy with Velma can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or challenging periods and allow therapists and licensed professionals to adapt session formats to what works best for each client.
