Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Leslie Davis integrates several practical approaches to support clients in online sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps people understand fears around closeness, abandonment, and connection and supports repairing relational wounds. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience - the therapist offers empathy and nonjudgmental listening so clients can explore feelings and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Davis works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as the work progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reach support when in different locations, and continue consistent care without travel. Dr. Davis uses these formats to provide responsive, goal-focused therapy suited to each client's circumstances.
