Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges by teaching practical skills for managing thoughts and reactions.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that strengthens a person’s own motivation to make changes. MI is especially useful for people navigating substance use concerns, ambivalence about change, or stages of recovery.
Trauma-informed care recognizes the impact of past trauma and emphasizes safety, trust, and empowerment while tailoring interventions to each person's needs. This approach supports healing from trauma, abuse, and post-traumatic stress by prioritizing the individual's pace and resilience.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work Heather will do collaboratively with each client. She will help explore which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or work, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
