Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Ava Baker
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core approach Ava uses to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. In plain terms, CBT focuses on practical tools and exercises that reduce anxiety, manage stress, and change responses to difficult situations, making it useful for issues like worry, parenting stress, and everyday coping.
Alongside CBT, Ava emphasizes a strengths-focused, collaborative stance that centers the client as the expert of their life. This approach highlights personal resources and builds communication and problem-solving skills for family relationships, forgiveness work, and navigating life transitions such as midlife shifts or grief.
Finding the right blend of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Ava works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so therapy fits each individual.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and daily life while focusing on practical strategies and emotional growth.
