How Anna's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy is about being heard and respected. In practice this means the therapist listens carefully, follows what matters to the client, and adjusts sessions to meet their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that lead to distress and testing small behavior changes to see what helps. Both approaches are useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend approaches that fit. That recommendation is a collaborative decision and can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and use shared exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, reminders, or continued work between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or medical needs and help keep momentum between appointments.
