Approaches that translate well to online care

Sharon uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice new, healthier responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday concerns.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and the person’s own goals so sessions follow what matters most to the client. This approach helps people feel heard and able to set realistic next steps.

Mindfulness techniques are added to teach simple breathing and attention skills that reduce reactivity and support coping with strong emotions. These practices fit well into short exercises people can use between sessions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and what feels doable in daily life. Plans can change as progress is made and new needs appear.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins or to continue work between appointments. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, or other commitments.
