Clients can expect a collaborative pace. Rixie treats clients as the experts on their lives and helps them explore options that fit their goals. Her work blends listening, skills practice, and steps people can try right away.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following each person's priorities. Online sessions allow the therapist to ask open questions, reflect what she hears, and collaborate on goals while respecting a client's pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes. In video or text work, CBT can include clear worksheets, behavior experiments to try between sessions, and step-by-step skill practice. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. DBT-style techniques can be taught and practiced in live sessions and reinforced through brief messages or skills check-ins between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients weigh options based on their needs, goals, and what feels useful. That choice is collaborative and can change as people try methods and notice what helps.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for fuller conversation and visual connection, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or hands-free work is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to practice skills in real life.
