Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Cathy uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as core approaches in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the client's perspective and building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship; it helps people process emotions, improve self-esteem, and navigate life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and learning practical skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior-focused concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cathy works with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the approach as the work unfolds to ensure it remains useful and relevant.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for many people. These options allow for consistent scheduling, easier attendance from home or work, and ongoing contact between sessions when needed. Licensed professionals can offer the same therapeutic strategies through these formats, helping clients pursue meaningful change without major disruptions to their daily lives.
