Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Support



Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist offers empathy and support while you lead the pace and goals of work. This approach helps people who want to build self-esteem, process life transitions, or explore personal values.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying practical goals and small, achievable steps toward change. It is useful for addressing everyday challenges, coping with life changes, and developing strategies for managing stress or addictive behaviors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management and helps people develop tools they can use between sessions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Raylene will work together with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and life situations. These options make it easier to access consistent support without travel, accommodate caregiving responsibilities or mobility limits, and allow ongoing work even when circumstances change or clients are located far from Montana or in other countries.
