Therapeutic Approaches for Online Relationship and Life Work

DeAnna Smith uses approaches that translate well to remote sessions and that address both individual concerns and relationship dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s values and goals guide the work; it helps people gain clarity about what matters most and builds self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce stress and improve coping with anxiety and life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional bonds and communication patterns within relationships, helping partners and family members understand reactions and strengthen attachment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is determined collaboratively. DeAnna will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapt techniques so the plan fits each person and relationship. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions whether the focus is on self-esteem, parenting, infidelity recovery, or multicultural concerns.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility and accessibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to engage in consistent, structured work from locations that suit them, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions while working with licensed professionals and therapists on meaningful change.
