How Dr. Poster’s Approaches Work Online

Attachment-based work looks at patterns of closeness and distance that developed early in life and how they show up now. Online sessions can help people notice these patterns and try new ways of relating in daily life. Client-centered therapy focuses on following each person's pace and priorities, giving room for emotional expression and personal choice while the therapist reflects and supports. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks down distressing thoughts and behaviors into small steps. CBT techniques used online can include short between-session exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that fit into a person’s routine.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps most. Many people benefit from combining these methods to match their needs and preferences.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and options for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when life gets hectic.
