How these approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection to help people clarify goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses small experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT can help with anxiety, stress, sleep, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christie will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and suggest strategies that fit those priorities. Sessions can blend approaches so practical problem-solving sits alongside deeper exploration when needed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be conducted. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick plan or coping tool is needed. It also means people can schedule work around school, caregiving, or shift work without rearranging their whole day.
