How Traci’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Traci blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, stress, and low mood. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to build motivation and clarity.

She treats approach selection as a collaborative process. During early sessions she and the client set goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. If a strategy isn’t working they adjust it together rather than sticking to a fixed plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for check-ins during a break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick reflections, brief coaching, or for people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
