Therapeutic approaches applied to online care

Chelette McClendon uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathetic environment where the client’s perspectives and goals guide the work. This approach is helpful for people who need a supportive space to explore feelings, build self-worth, and clarify priorities.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be effective for addressing anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with everyday functioning by offering practical strategies and structured exercises.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool she draws on to help people find their own reasons for change and strengthen commitment to goals. This approach works well when motivation feels mixed or when someone wants to make difficult lifestyle changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Chelette works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques over time based on feedback and progress.

Online therapy with Chelette offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage care from different locations within Texas, and maintain consistent contact with licensed professionals and therapists who support ongoing progress.
