Approaches and what online therapy looks like
Client-centered work means the therapist focuses on your perspective and values. Sessions aim to reflect what you say, helping you clarify goals and decide the next steps that feel right. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills and breathing or noticing practices that help reduce reactivity and calm anxiety in daily life. Motivational interviewing supports people who want change but feel stuck by exploring their own reasons and building small achievable plans.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Tammy will work together with each person to test what feels most helpful based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and which techniques are used over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation when more interaction is useful. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life while using the approaches above to make steady progress.
