Ways Elaine Uses Therapy Online

Client-centered therapy starts by putting the client's experience at the center of each session. Elaine listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people name what matters to them. This approach helps people feel understood and guides the work toward goals they set.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Elaine uses simple CBT tools to help people spot unhelpful thinking, test new perspectives, and try small behavior changes that reduce stress and improve mood. This approach is useful for addiction-related cravings, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elaine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That could mean starting with listening and values work, then adding CBT techniques or motivational interviewing to support change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and text let people send updates, try quick coaching, or have ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let therapy fit into busy lives.
