Therapeutic Approaches for Online Healing and Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on honoring the individual’s perspective and strengths. In this approach Samantha listens deeply and creates space for clients to explore their goals, which is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with more adaptive ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties because it offers practical skills for managing symptoms.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that assists people in processing distressing memories so they have less emotional intensity. It can be effective for trauma and abuse-related symptoms when trauma processing is a treatment goal.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Samantha works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions over time and combines techniques as appropriate to support progress.

Online therapy offers flexible options for connecting with licensed professionals. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult. These modalities allow therapists to work with clients in ways that suit their daily lives while focusing on meaningful, practical work toward their goals.
