Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Nicole often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors; it helps with anxiety, depression, and anger by teaching practical coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on understanding emotions and improving connection in relationships; it can help people reshape patterns that cause distress in partnerships and family interactions.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Nicole will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to fit each person. She aims to combine skill teaching with attention to emotion and relationships so the plan fits real life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video lets people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, and daily routines while using the approaches above.
