How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects concerns, priorities, and values so the person feels heard and can set meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It is useful for worries, low mood, compulsive routines, and managing ADHD-related challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, practical steps. Sessions look for what is already working and build on those strengths to create quick, achievable changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. If an approach is not helping, adjustments are made so work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills that use visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for short check-ins, writing out thoughts, or for people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and keep therapeutic progress moving forward.
