Approaches you can use in online therapy

Stacie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused or somatic methods to help people address distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives clear skills for managing anxiety, depression, and impulsive behaviors. Trauma-focused work and somatic therapy attend to how painful events show up in the body and feelings, offering ways to process memories and reduce physical tension that keeps problems active.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most helpful, try methods that fit the issue and comfort level, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaboration lets the clinician and client find a mix of strategies that address symptoms and daily life needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give options for different schedules and preferences. Video sessions allow face-to-face work and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be an easier fit when bandwidth is low or when someone wants to avoid being on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer short check-ins, quick coping suggestions, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
