Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment where the client’s perspective guides the work. In this approach the therapist offers understanding and support while helping clients explore values, self-worth, and relationship concerns, which can be especially helpful for people coping with shame, codependency, or life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT techniques are practical and skills-based, often used to address anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, and mood symptoms by teaching coping strategies and problem-solving tools.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Loretta works collaboratively with each person to determine whether Client-Centered work, CBT techniques, or a blend of both best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This shared decision making helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from different settings and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care and integrate therapy into daily life without sacrificing quality of treatment.
