Approaches that translate well to online care

Dr. Livingston commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and partnering with you to set goals; it helps people feel heard and gain clarity about what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage anger, improve sleep, and address ADHD-related challenges.

She also draws on mindfulness practices to teach simple breathing and attention skills that reduce stress in daily life. Together she and a client decide which approaches fit best. That collaborative process includes trying techniques and adjusting plans based on what helps you meet your goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and coaching body language. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging can be a lower-intensity way to check in, work through steps, or maintain momentum between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and can fit work breaks, caregiving routines, or travel demands.
