Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience, creating space for clients to explore goals and values; it helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and decision-making by prioritizing the client's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to change behavior and emotional responses - it is often used for anger, stress, and coping with life changes. Narrative Therapy invites clients to reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can be especially useful when addressing family roles, attachment issues, and identity during transitions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Eva Smith-Smejkal works collaboratively to determine which methods best match a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and practical.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for those balancing work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy schedules, and access licensed professionals from familiar settings while working toward meaningful change.
