Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Rebecca uses client-centered work to prioritize what matters most to each person, following the client's lead and adjusting pace and focus to match goals. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and decide next steps.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns, test new behaviors, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression through practical exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, and they will experiment with methods until something fits. Clients are invited to give feedback and change direction if something is not helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing journaling-style support, or follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while keeping progress steady.
