Therapeutic approaches for effective online care
Nikki integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work - it is useful for building self-esteem, improving communication, and exploring life purpose. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly used to address anxiety, mood shifts, stress, and coping skills. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps clients resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change - it can be particularly helpful for issues involving motivation, behavior change, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nikki works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve. This helps ensure the work feels relevant and practical.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility - sessions can happen via video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, allowing therapy to fit into everyday life more smoothly.
