Therapeutic approaches for online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress, and sessions typically include practice between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. The therapist listens deeply and follows the person’s pace to clarify goals and priorities. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady space to process feelings and decide their next steps. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will adjust techniques as progress is made. Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls support face-to-face conversation for exercises and emotional work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short updates, homework check-ins, and staying connected between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, parenting, and daily life.
