Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the individual’s perspective guides the pace and goals of treatment. It helps clients build self-understanding, confidence, and agency when facing life transitions or relationship challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, depression, mood symptoms, and stress by teaching tools for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and coping strategies.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping emotional responses and attachment patterns, making it particularly helpful for relationship issues and for individuals who want to understand and shift how they connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Ramona works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy lives and to maintain continuity of support across different circumstances. Licensed professionals can use these options to provide consistent, accessible guidance while tailoring session format to what works best for each person.
