Therapeutic approaches and what to expect from online sessions
Cindy uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients' perspectives and goals guide the work. This approach focuses on listening deeply and helping people gain clarity about their values and priorities, which can be helpful for relationship concerns, life transitions, and self-esteem issues.She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood-related challenges by breaking problems into manageable steps and teaching concrete coping skills.
Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these methods to help clients develop present-moment awareness and stress-reduction skills. Mindfulness techniques can support emotion regulation, reduce rumination, and complement other therapeutic strategies.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Cindy collaborates with clients to tailor methods to individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made and circumstances change. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine these tools to create a personalized plan.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage transportation barriers, and maintain continuity during life transitions. These options expand access to ongoing support while allowing clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
