Approaches that translate to online care

Candice often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and helping clients set their own goals. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and make choices.

She also relies on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, sleep, and eating concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy is another tool she uses for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal skills through concrete techniques and skills practice.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Candice works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She checks in about progress and adjusts methods as needed so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers scheduling flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging makes shorter check-ins and ongoing coaching easier between sessions. These options help people keep therapy going even with busy routines.
