Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online care

Sara often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into concrete steps and teaches skills for everyday situations, which works well in short online sessions.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and understanding the person’s perspective. This approach focuses on what matters to the individual and supports self-directed growth during conversation-based formats.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods over time to match progress and comfort with online formats.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of skills. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging can be shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
