Online support

How her approaches work in online therapy

Tabitha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts that drive unhelpful reactions. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and is often used for anxiety, ADHD-related struggles, and low mood.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to build awareness of the present moment and reduce stress. Mindfulness can help with overwhelming feelings, rumination, and compassion fatigue by training attention and gentle acceptance.

Solution-Focused Therapy appears when clients want quick, practical shifts. This approach highlights strengths and small steps that move someone toward their goals without getting stuck in long problem talks.

Tabitha treats choosing an approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps find the right mix of strategies over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or an option when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between meetings or check in on busy days. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit around school, work, parenting, or travel.
