How CBT and Solution-Focused Work in Online Therapy



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. Delivered online, CBT uses structured conversations and practical exercises to address issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating concerns by focusing on skills and actionable steps.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers attention on strengths, goals, and small, achievable changes rather than on extended analysis of problems. In remote sessions this approach encourages clients to set clear goals, notice progress, and build on what already works in daily life, which can be especially useful for relationship issues, coping with life changes, and short-term coaching needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and a licensed professional will collaborate with each person to determine whether CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, or a combination best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions to what is most useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and additional contact is possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
