Practical approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on your experience and what matters to you in the moment. The therapist follows your lead, listens closely, and helps you clarify values and goals. This works well for concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship stress.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus. It can be paired with short movement or breathing exercises to help manage stress and ADHD-related restlessness.
Beverly combines these approaches with solution-focused ideas to set small, practical steps. Figuring out which mix fits you is collaborative - the therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on your needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different circumstances. Video is useful for conversations and guided practices. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you want to avoid being on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, short skill practice, or when scheduling is tight. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work focused on real, usable changes.
