Therapeutic approaches for online care
Andrienne Horton-Smith uses several evidence-based methods adapted for remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, mood concerns, and stress by teaching practical skills for coping and problem solving. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in a paced, supportive way; it helps people reduce the hold of past events and build more adaptive responses. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversational style that helps clients explore their own reasons for change and strengthen personal motivation for goals like healthier relationships or improved self-care.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrienne works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time based on what proves most helpful. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and respected in planning their care.
Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain consistent appointments. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from different settings while accessing the same therapeutic techniques and support they would receive in person.
