Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Cheri Anderson uses several well-established approaches to support change and healing in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental environment that helps people explore their feelings and identify their own solutions - it is useful for improving self-understanding and strengthening relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - is an approach used with trauma-related symptoms to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Anderson works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then recommends or combines methods that best fit the situation. The plan can be adjusted over time as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access support from home or work. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver effective, goal-focused treatment while accommodating different communication styles and practical needs.
