Online Therapy Guided by Cognitive Behavioral and Strengths-Based Approaches



Judy Couwels uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on changing the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so clients can build clearer coping skills and experience more predictable emotional shifts.

She also brings a strengths-based perspective that highlights clients’ existing resources and personal resilience. This approach helps people recognize what is already working in their lives and use those strengths to tackle relationship challenges, grief, and other difficulties. Together these approaches aim to be practical and empowering.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Judy works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access care around work, family, and daily commitments. These options provide flexibility and continuity, allowing licensed professionals and therapists to meet clients where they are and support steady progress toward their goals.
