Online Therapy with Client-Centered and CBT Approaches



Elizabeth Allen uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment in which clients are heard and respected. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and helping individuals clarify their own goals, which can be especially useful for relationship concerns, grief, and self-esteem issues.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, or difficulties with coping. CBT offers practical tools and structured techniques to address specific problems and build skills for managing symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Elizabeth collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate what feels most helpful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity of care across life changes, and access licensed professionals from home or other locations, while preserving the core elements of a supportive therapeutic relationship.
