Therapeutic approaches for online care

Deidra commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Narrative Therapy is another approach she employs - it helps people separate themselves from problems by exploring personal stories and reshaping how challenges are understood, which can be useful for identity work, trauma recovery, and relationship concerns.

Motivational Interviewing is also part of her toolkit; this collaborative method helps clients clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation, which can be particularly helpful for issues like addictions, ambivalence, or major life transitions. Deidra works with each person to determine which combination of approaches fits best, making decisions together based on the client’s goals, preferences, and circumstances.

Online sessions allow these methods to be delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, geographic constraints, and varying comfort levels with remote care. This format supports ongoing work on skills, communication, and emotional processing while fitting into everyday life.
