Therapeutic approaches for online care



Whitney uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the person’s own perspective, providing empathy and active listening so clients feel heard and respected; this approach is often helpful for people working through grief, life changes, or issues with self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and achievable goals, helping clients create concrete steps toward improvement and rapid progress on specific concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Whitney collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses to find the best fit. This shared decision-making helps shape a personalized plan for change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so people can connect from locations and schedules that work for them. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent care, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and access support when life is busy or changing.
