Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Vivian Carr-Allen draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients in an online format. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps the individual explore feelings and values - this approach is helpful for improving self-understanding, building confidence, and navigating life changes. CBT is a practical, skills-based method that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress by teaching tools for managing unhelpful thinking and building healthier routines.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Vivian works collaboratively with people to identify which methods fit best. She tailors techniques to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time so therapy remains responsive and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility for busy lives. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to connect from home, at work, or while traveling within the permitted region. This range of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to integrate therapeutic work into everyday routines with licensed professionals and therapists guiding the process.
