Therapeutic approaches for online care
Robert Aerts uses a few evidence-based approaches that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily coping challenges. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about their lives, separating the person from the problem and opening space for new meanings and possibilities. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clients' strengths and practical steps, helping people set goals and build on what is already working in their lives.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Robert works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, and clients are invited to provide input as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions occur - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to connect with licensed professionals from different locations. These options can increase accessibility and allow therapy to continue around life demands while maintaining a focus on progress and practical outcomes.
