How Laketia’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and values. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and helps clients set goals that matter to them, useful for issues like self-esteem, career decisions, and parenting stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches people to spot thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or depression. It uses exercises and small experiments to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning, which can help with sleep problems, anger, and mood fluctuations.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and simple practices to reduce reactivity. This approach can be paired with CBT to help with stress, trauma symptoms, and chronic pain coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as goals evolve and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, writing out thoughts, or keeping progress between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use different formats as needs change.
