Approaches for Online Work and Therapeutic Support
April Fortner integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) into her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where the client's perspective guides the pace of change and self-understanding, useful for people seeking empathy and personal growth. CBT is a practical approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with addictive patterns. EFT concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns within relationships, helping partners express needs and rebuild connection when intimacy or communication has become strained.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and April works collaboratively with each person or couple to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life context. She adjusts techniques as progress unfolds so care remains aligned with what the client needs most.
Online therapy with April can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, helping clients maintain momentum between sessions.
