Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Whitney Cox commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to change behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, and coping with life transitions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, client-centered method that supports people who are ambivalent about change - it is often used in addiction treatment and when building motivation for new goals.Whitney also draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the client’s perspective, creating space for individuals to lead the process while the therapist offers empathy and guidance. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Whitney works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for busy schedules, geographical limitations, or those who prefer remote options. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care and to access licensed professionals and therapists in ways that fit day-to-day life.
