Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

As an LMHC, Teri Hines uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to address a range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that supports ambivalence and builds internal motivation for change, often useful in work with addictions and readiness for recovery. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical strengths and small, achievable steps to move toward preferred outcomes, which can be helpful for relationship, career, and coping-with-life-change goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Teri works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal style, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This allows therapy to remain flexible and focused on what works for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive consistent support from licensed professionals without traveling to an office. The variety of formats also allows people to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for their work together.
