Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Joivonna Thompson draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to structure online sessions in a way that fits each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, giving clients space to explore values, self-esteem, and life changes while the therapist follows the client’s lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is especially useful for addressing anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms.

She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who need help finding internal motivation for change, whether that involves career transitions, recovery-related goals, or building new coping strategies. Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process - the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine what aligns best with their goals, preferences, and current challenges.

Online sessions via video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging offer flexibility for those juggling work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in therapy, try different formats to see what feels most effective, and access licensed professionals from locations across Florida.
