Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care Options
Dr. Thompson uses approaches that are well suited to online work and focused change. Client-centered therapy centers on empathy, active listening, and supporting the client’s own ability to explore feelings and make decisions - an approach that helps with relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and teaching practical skills to manage symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, making it especially useful for addictions and behavior change.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Thompson collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so the work remains relevant and effective.
Online sessions offer flexibility to connect in ways that fit a client’s life. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support when schedules, mobility, or geography make in-person visits difficult. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills between sessions while accommodating day-to-day responsibilities.
