Using CBT and Practical Methods Online

Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT involves setting clear goals, practicing skills between sessions, and tracking small changes that lead to different feelings and reactions.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel uncertain about change. This approach focuses on listening, exploring ambivalence, and helping clients find their own reasons to try new steps. Both approaches are useful for depression, anxiety, relationship worries, and coping after trauma.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video sessions are close to in-person meetings and work well for deeper conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit during a work break. Live chat or text messaging is useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or shorter conversations between sessions. These options help people keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy lives.
