How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting clients where they are; online sessions using this approach emphasize the client's priorities and encourage exploration of personal strengths to guide change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed together over video or text. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works on processing distressing memories and symptoms, and elements of EMDR can be adapted to remote sessions when clinically appropriate.

Finding the right approach often happens through collaboration. The therapist will work with clients to identify needs, preferences, and goals, then try approaches or combinations that best fit their situation while checking in about progress and comfort along the way.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. These formats enable regular contact and tailored interventions while allowing clients to choose the way of communicating that feels most helpful to them.
