Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and the therapist's attuned presence, creating space for clients to explore feelings and values at their own pace; this approach is helpful for issues like self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured techniques and practical exercises, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Solution-Focused Therapy takes a goal-oriented stance, helping clients identify strengths and concrete steps to move forward when facing life changes, relationship challenges, or career decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Wilson works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they can adapt techniques and try different strategies until a good fit emerges.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and to receive support from home or work. These formats offer flexibility in timing and communication style, allowing clients to choose what feels most practical and effective for their situation.
