Approaches and Access - How Therapy Works Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s experiences and goals guide the work. This approach is helpful for building self-understanding, improving self-esteem, and working through life adjustments by emphasizing empathy and collaboration.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, mood regulation, and coping with stress, providing structured tools to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people explore their ambivalence about change and strengthen their own motivation. It can be especially useful for addiction, behavior change, and situations where taking the next step feels difficult.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Woods works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then adapts methods to fit each person’s situation so they feel supported and engaged in planning steps forward.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to match clients’ routines and access needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into a busy life, and connect with licensed professionals from different locations.
