Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and creating a collaborative space where the client leads the conversation while the therapist offers empathy and support. This approach is useful for people seeking increased self-awareness, stronger relationships, and improved self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and goal-oriented strategies. CBT is often applied to stress, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, and mood-related concerns, providing tools to manage symptoms and build coping skills.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nancy works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from home or work. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, goal-focused care while accommodating practical constraints and individual comfort with communication styles.
