Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care



Danielle Stivers draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques to tailor online sessions to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the therapist’s empathetic listening and collaboration, helping clients explore feelings and build self-awareness so they can make choices aligned with their values. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical goals and small changes, helping clients quickly build strategies that address specific problems and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Danielle works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their goals, preferences, and experiences. She adapts methods over time, combining elements from different approaches when that serves the client’s progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from a distance. For many clients, these options increase accessibility and make it simpler to practice new skills between sessions with ongoing support from a licensed professional.
