Therapeutic approaches for flexible online care

Curtrice uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping strategies - an approach that is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns related to addictions. She also brings psychodynamic ideas into therapy to explore how past experiences and relationship patterns influence current feelings and behaviors, which can be helpful for trauma, relationship concerns, and long-standing mood or self-esteem issues. In addition, a humanistic stance supports each person’s strengths and autonomy, promoting personal growth during life transitions and parenting or career challenges.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Curtrice collaborates with clients to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility - they make it easier to schedule appointments, maintain continuity during busy periods, and access licensed professionals from home or work. These formats allow therapists to deliver evidence-based care while adapting to each client’s lifestyle and needs.
