Approaches Samantha Uses for Online Therapy
Samantha integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness therapy into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the client leads the pace and content of sessions while the therapist offers support and understanding - this approach is helpful for people seeking a safe space to explore feelings and values.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for issues like anxiety and depression and for developing practical coping skills.
Mindfulness therapy teaches techniques for grounding attention in the present moment and noticing thoughts and sensations without judgment. These practices can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation across a range of concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Samantha works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions as the work progresses to maintain a good fit.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around busy lives, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical. Licensed professionals can effectively use these formats to provide consistent, supportive therapy tailored to each client.
