Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Hope Spencer commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and responding to each person's experience so the client guides the pace and focus of therapy. This approach helps people who need a supportive environment to explore feelings, build self-understanding, and strengthen personal resources.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, goal-oriented method that helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop skills to change behaviors and emotional responses. CBT is often useful for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior-related challenges.

Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool she uses, concentrating on clients' strengths and on identifying small, practical steps toward meaningful change. This approach can be effective when clients want focused, action-oriented work and clear progress markers.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. She works with each client to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and adapts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, as well as live chat and text-based messaging, allow clients to access licensed professionals from different settings and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person.
