Approaches in Online Therapy and How They Help
Twila Quaid draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or trouble sleeping. It emphasizes practical exercises and measurable goals that translate well to remote sessions.Narrative Therapy centers on the stories people tell about their lives. By examining and reauthoring those narratives, clients can separate from unhelpful problem-focused identities and find new possibilities for action and meaning. This approach can be particularly useful for grief, life transitions, and questions about purpose.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Twila works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts techniques over time so therapeutic work fits each person. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine methods to suit the individual.
Online therapy provides flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity during changes, and access care from different locations. These options support consistent progress while accommodating different communication styles and schedules.
