Approaches and Online Therapy for Relationships and Life Transitions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT can be useful for tackling low self-esteem, improving motivation, managing stress related to career or relationship changes, and developing skills for coping with transitions.
In addition, Laura Hastings emphasizes a collaborative, strengths-focused style of working that draws on a person’s existing resources. This approach centers the client’s perspective, builds confidence, and supports sustainable change by amplifying what is already working in a person’s life.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Hastings works together with clients to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision-making helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or on the go while maintaining continuity of care and adapting to each client’s schedule.
