Background and approach

Approaches that translate well to online care



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship where a client’s own goals and values guide the work; it is useful for addressing self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related difficulties, and stress management. Solution-Focused Therapy targets practical, short-term goals and highlights strengths and resources to create forward movement in specific areas like communication, career decisions, or coping with change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, then recommend techniques and a pace that fit the client’s needs. Adjustments are made along the way so the plan stays aligned with progress and evolving priorities.

Online sessions using video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make scheduling more flexible and can reduce barriers like travel time. These formats allow for regular, consistent contact and make it easier to integrate therapeutic homework and lifestyle recommendations into daily routines, supporting continuity between sessions.
