Approaches that guide online therapy with Elizabeth Snow
Elizabeth draws on client-centered therapy to create a warm, empathetic environment where the client’s priorities guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, acceptance, and supporting a person as they discover their own solutions, and it can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and navigating relationship concerns.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, panic, or compulsive symptoms. CBT emphasizes practical tools and strategies to change unhelpful thinking and develop healthier coping skills.
Motivational Interviewing is another approach Elizabeth employs when readiness for change is a focus, such as with addictions or ambivalence about life changes. This method helps clients clarify their values and strengthen internal motivation in a collaborative, nonconfrontational way.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Elizabeth works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can occur by video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage transportation limitations, and maintain continuity of support across life transitions.
