Approaches and options for online therapy
Dr. Humbles uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, practical changes. One common approach she relies on helps people recognize unhelpful thinking and replace it with more balanced thoughts. That method helps with anxiety, depression, and rumination that fuels anger.Another approach focuses on learning and practicing new behaviors in everyday life. This involves setting small goals, trying new responses in real situations, and checking what worked. This behavioral focus supports people coping with sleep problems, addiction triggers, and relationship habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about your goals and preferences, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps you make progress. That collaborative process means approaches are tailored rather than fixed.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and a face-to-face feel matter. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, care duties, or travel while keeping consistent contact with a licensed professional.
