Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Support
Rafaela often draws on client-centered therapy, which places the person’s experiences and goals at the center of care and emphasizes empathy and collaboration to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another common approach she uses; it focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Rafaela works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods match their goals, preferences, and situation, adjusting techniques as progress is made so the plan stays aligned with what helps most.
Online sessions can be conducted by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not practical, while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to use the approaches that best support each client.
