Evidence-based approaches for online therapy and lasting change
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and then develop more effective ways of thinking and behaving. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with coping and motivation. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes concrete goals and short-term strategies - it helps people build on strengths, set practical targets, and create measurable steps forward during times of transition or when specific problems need quick, focused attention. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and integrating distressing experiences with care and pacing, supporting recovery from trauma-related symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Hysten-Williams works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what is and is not helping, adjust techniques as progress unfolds, and prioritize strategies that feel manageable and meaningful for the individual or family.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic limits. These options support continuity of care, make it easier to maintain momentum between appointments, and allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, focused work in a way that fits clients’ daily lives.
