Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client's experience guides the work; it supports people dealing with life transitions, identity questions, and relationship concerns by emphasizing understanding and acceptance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skills-building, which can be effective for anxiety, stress, and mood challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that assist with emotional regulation, rumination, and coping during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach often unfolds over time, and Lee Maxwell collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process allows adjustments as progress develops and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the individual, while still benefiting from structured clinical support.
