Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Deanna Murray draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) to guide work in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping people feel heard while exploring what matters most to them and building confidence to make changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce stress, anxiety, and improve coping in day-to-day life. Emotionally-focused therapy centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships, making it useful for couples and family concerns where stronger connection and clearer communication are goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Deanna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so sessions remain relevant and effective for the individual or couple.

Online therapy with Deanna is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive consistent support from licensed professionals without the need for in-person visits.
