Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Venita Gowdy uses approaches that focus on the person in front of her and practical ways to change patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and working from the client’s own goals to build insight and self-direction - it is helpful for clients who need a supportive space to explore feelings and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and skill building - it is effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, achievable changes to move toward preferred outcomes - it is useful when clients want practical, goal-oriented progress.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Venita collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy stays relevant and aligned with what the client finds most helpful.
Online sessions offer flexibility and easier access to ongoing support. Venita provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from home, manage appointments around work or family commitments, and maintain continuity of care even when life is busy or circumstances change.
