Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people name their goals and priorities. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into smaller parts and teaches practical skills such as thought reframing, behavior experiments, and activity planning. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Annette will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust strategies as progress unfolds. That collaborative process helps match tools to what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy schedule. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a less visual check-in is preferred. Live chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or people who prefer written communication. These options provide flexibility so therapy can continue despite travel, work demands, or a hectic home life.
