Approaches That Translate to Online Care
Mary Newbauer drew on several well-established therapeutic approaches that adapt well to remote formats. Client-Centered Therapy centers the individual’s experience, offering empathic listening and collaborative support to help people explore feelings and find their own solutions; this approach is helpful for grief, identity concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy introduces present-focused awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which can benefit those coping with loss, chronic stress, or caregiver strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary’s work emphasized collaboration to identify methods that fit a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. A therapist and client work together to tailor techniques and decide which combination of approaches is most helpful.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility and accessibility for people balancing caregiving, health needs, work, or mobility limitations. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide regular support, teach practical skills, and maintain continuity of care across changing circumstances.
