Approaches for Online Therapy and Remote Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities. It helps people build self-awareness, self-esteem, and personal insight while guiding decisions about change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that maintain difficulties, offering concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns.
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access internal resources and introduce new perspectives on habits, stress responses, or certain trauma-related symptoms. It is used selectively when it fits a client's goals and comfort level.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. A licensed professional will work with the client to identify goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time based on what proves most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow therapy to fit around work, family, and mobility needs and support continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical. Therapists can adapt techniques to each format so that clients receive focused, practical help in a way that suits their life.
