Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Sylvia often draws on client-centered therapy, which prioritizes the client’s own goals and perspectives and creates a collaborative space for change. This approach helps when someone needs a compassionate, listening-focused environment to clarify values and direction.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and develops specific skills to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. Mindfulness therapy is incorporated alongside CBT to teach present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sylvia works together with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process ensures treatment feels purposeful and tailored.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily life. For many people, remote sessions increase accessibility and allow steady progress without the need for travel, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
