Therapeutic approaches for online therapy
Dr. Rodgers commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try new responses to reduce distress and manage anger or anxiety. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on healing from past traumatic events and teaches tools to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and find the motivation to take small steps. The choice of approach is flexible and decided together. The therapist and client collaborate to match methods to goals, needs, and personal preferences rather than sticking to a single technique.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a quick break from work. Live chat and messages are useful for short check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
