How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person and following their lead. Online sessions using this approach prioritize the client’s goals and pace, helping people talk through what matters and decide next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises. In remote sessions, CBT can include thought records, behavior experiments, and skill practice that people can use between meetings to track progress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity. These practices fit well into video or phone sessions and can be guided in short exercises during a meeting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Loren collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat or text messaging supports brief updates, coaching-style exchanges, and homework check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
