Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Fennisha Gardner draws on established approaches to support change and coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to shift behaviors and emotions; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and improving day-to-day coping. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clients' strengths and practical steps forward, emphasizing short-term goals and what is already working in a person’s life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Fennisha works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure that therapy remains relevant and responsive.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or care routines. These options expand access to licensed professionals and allow therapy to continue from different locations while preserving continuity of care.
