Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Kiara Laster draws from several practical approaches to support clients in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, which can help with emotional regulation and coping with trauma symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that strengthens motivation for change by exploring personal values and readiness to act.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kiara works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and additional options include live chat or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, fit care into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are not feasible.
