How different approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first. In this approach the therapist listens closely, reflects what matters, and supports clients as they find their own answers. It helps when someone feels unheard or unsure about next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, stress, and low mood. Clients often leave with concrete strategies to try between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on how emotions show up in relationships and personal patterns. It can help people notice repeating emotional cycles and experiment with new ways of responding when strong feelings arise.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapist-client work. Lorrie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process where method and pace are adjusted as needed.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes and to keep therapy consistent with day-to-day routines.
