Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care
Ruthie Brooks uses client-centered therapy to create an empathic, accepting space where clients lead the pace of their own exploration - this approach helps people work on self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns by building insight and personal agency. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach present-moment awareness and practical strategies for reducing stress and improving emotional regulation, which can support sleep, stress management, and coping with intense emotions.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process; Ruthie collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in their care and focused on realistic, meaningful outcomes.
Online therapy with Ruthie offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and connect from different locations, while still receiving structured, goal-oriented support from a licensed therapist.
