Evidence-informed approaches for online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems like anger, anxiety, and low mood going. It often involves simple experiments and at-home practice to test new ways of thinking and acting.Motivational Interviewing focuses on building motivation for change. It uses respectful questions and reflection to help someone clarify their reasons for change and move toward achievable goals.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and clear goals. Sessions tend to look at what is already working and how to do more of it, which can be helpful for life transitions, stress, and coping skills.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, pacing the work to what feels manageable. Goals and tools are revisited and adjusted as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break during the day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
