Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps shape sessions around what matters most to the client. This approach is useful when someone wants a collaborative space to talk through life changes or parenting struggles.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect behavior. The therapist and client identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice specific skills to change reactions. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and social fears because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gardner will help clients decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She mixes approaches when that better serves a person's situation and checks in regularly to adjust the plan.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let clients talk face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible, ongoing contact for people who prefer writing or need quick support during the week.
