Approaches for Online Therapy and How They Help
Denise Buckingham draws from psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approaches to tailor care for each person. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on exploring emotions, past relationships, and recurring patterns to help people understand how earlier experiences shape present reactions - it can be helpful for those working through trauma, attachment concerns, or long-standing emotional patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties.Denise emphasizes a collaborative process - finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will consider a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the mix of techniques so the care feels useful and manageable.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility and greater access to care. These formats allow people to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, or choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
