Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Karen Goodwin draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing to support change in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and validating the client's perspective while helping them identify their own goals and strengths - it is helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve day-to-day coping. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach designed to resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which can be especially useful for people working on addiction or difficult habit changes.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Karen works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on how clients respond and what proves most helpful.
Online therapy with Karen can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or differing comfort levels with technology. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from varied locations and maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
