Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead to explore values, feelings, and goals. This approach is helpful for people seeking greater self-understanding and emotional support during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often effective for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s own motivation to change by exploring ambivalence and clarifying goals - it can be useful for building momentum around difficult decisions or behavior changes.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Courtney Nelson works collaboratively with each person to choose and adapt methods based on individual needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting the plan as progress and concerns evolve. The aim is a shared process that honors the client’s priorities.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled by video call or phone, and shorter contacts can take place via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during relocations or health changes, and access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without the need for in-person visits.
