Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Victoria Saali integrates several proven approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework - it is useful for anxiety, depression, trauma responses, and patterns that keep people stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client's own capacity for growth - this approach aids self-exploration, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify personal values and strengthen motivation for change through collaborative conversation, which can be especially helpful with addictions, ambivalence about change, and goal-directed work.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Saali works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods align with a client's goals, preferences, and life situation, adjusting course as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care from different locations. These options can increase accessibility and convenience while allowing therapists to deliver structured, goal-focused work adapted to each client's circumstances.
