Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. In online sessions this means time is spent reflecting back concerns and priorities so clients feel heard and can guide the work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT works well over video or phone because homework and simple skill practice can be assigned between sessions and reviewed quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brigette will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and current needs. That might mean starting with solution-focused steps for quick progress, then adding mindfulness or CBT tools for longer-term skill building.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can suit lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, and chat or messaging allows brief check-ins and written reflections between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, family, or travel schedules.
