How her approaches translate to online care

Dr. Atanmo-Strempek uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting; CBT is often used for anxiety, mood shifts, and coping with stress. She also uses client-centered techniques that focus on listening and building a trusting, respectful relationship so people feel heard and can discover their own strengths. Narrative therapy is used to separate a person from a problem and to rewrite the story they tell about themselves, which can help with issues like abandonment and identity after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy work. She will collaborate with each person to choose or adapt methods based on goals, comfort level, and what proves useful in early sessions. Together they check progress and adjust strategies when needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and make steady progress more achievable.
