Approaches in online therapy and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a collaborative space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and building on a person’s strengths to address issues like relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, anger, and other common concerns. CBT teaches practical strategies for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces present-moment awareness and acceptance practices to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation, which can be useful for coping with trauma-related symptoms, chronic stress, and mood fluctuations.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and needs. That collaborative process may include trying different techniques and adapting the plan over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow therapy to fit into busy schedules, support access from different locations, and provide multiple options for communicating between sessions.
