Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, supportive space in which the client guides the work. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify values and goals, and supports self-directed growth - useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is effective for anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning by offering concrete strategies for coping and problem solving.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings. These practices can reduce reactivity to stress, support emotion regulation, and complement work on trauma, grief, and chronic worry.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laurissa works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and together they tailor techniques that fit the individual's life and values. This collaborative exploration helps determine whether to emphasize skills training, reflective work, mindfulness, or a blend of methods.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility and greater access to care. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family commitments, maintain continuity during transitions, and receive consistent support from licensed professionals across different settings.
