Approaches that translate well to online care

Vanna commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression. Solution-focused therapy focuses on small, practical steps and short-term goals to build confidence and daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps people feel involved in decisions about their care.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates, ongoing coaching, or people who prefer typed communication. These formats help fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
