Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Carie uses client-centered therapy to begin by listening and understanding what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on the client's goals and priorities and helps shape practical steps that fit day-to-day life. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more helpful ones. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on how the client responds. Together they choose what feels most useful and make changes as goals evolve. Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues help; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates or questions between sessions and can be useful for brief coaching, reminders, or ongoing encouragement. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting routines while using the therapist's clinical approaches to address symptoms and practical problems.
