Evidence-Based Methods for Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with sleep or eating.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, person-centered approach that helps increase motivation for change. It is especially useful for behaviors related to substance use, smoking cessation, and other goals where ambivalence may be present.

Edi Peterson works with clients to determine which approaches fit their needs and preferences, and finding the right method is treated as a collaborative part of the process. She and the client review goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage caregiving responsibilities, or avoid travel. These options allow therapists and licensed professionals to provide consistent, goal-oriented support in ways that match each person's lifestyle and needs.
