How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a collaborative space where the client guides the work. In online sessions this looks like the therapist reflecting back what matters most and helping clients name their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; online sessions can include short exercises, thought records, and homework to practice between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness, which can be practiced during and between online appointments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try together. The treatment plan is a collaboration and can be adjusted as progress is tracked and priorities shift.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief touch-base is helpful. It also supports using written exercises between sessions and trying mindfulness practices in real time. Licensed professionals can help match a format and approach to everyday life and goals.
