Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Dr. Rebecca McDonough integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic relationship that empowers the client to explore values and goals and is well suited for people facing identity questions, relationship concerns, or life transitions. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and offers practical tools to manage anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem challenges. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support coping with grief, stress, and ongoing life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. McDonough works with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it possible to access consistent therapeutic support without travel, allowing clients to engage in therapy from home or elsewhere and to select the format that feels most effective for them.
