CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to symptoms like anxiety and depression, then teaches practical strategies to shift those patterns. In Melissa Wood's practice, CBT is used to develop concrete skills for managing stress, improving mood, and changing unhelpful responses to life’s challenges.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting clear, achievable goals and building on existing strengths. This approach is brief and oriented toward immediate change, making it useful for relationship concerns, life transitions, and targeted problem-solving where clients want measurable progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Melissa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals often combine techniques to create a tailored path for each client.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level, making it easier to maintain consistent work on goals and to access support from different locations.
