Therapeutic Approaches Delivered Through Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and helps the client explore feelings and values at their own pace - this approach can be especially helpful for building self-esteem and working through relationship or life transition issues. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused conversation style that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, making it useful for addictions and behavior change challenges.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. DeProw works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts techniques so the work feels relevant and achievable. This shared decision-making helps shape a tailored plan that fits the client s circumstances.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and many clients also use live chat or text-based messaging for shorter check-ins and support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, bridge geographic distance, and maintain continuity of support when life circumstances change.
