Integrating Therapeutic Approaches into Online Care
Antoinette Goss uses a blend of approaches that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies - it is effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and building on a person’s strengths; it helps clients feel heard and supported while they explore personal goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult emotions while committing to actions that align with personal values - it is useful for coping with ongoing distress and making meaningful life changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, and together they will decide which methods to emphasize and how to adapt them for online sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to maintain continuity during transitions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured therapy, teach coping skills, and support relationship or addiction concerns, all while accommodating different schedules and communication styles.
