Approaches that inform online therapy

Frantica Hardaway draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the client guides the pace and focus of work - this approach emphasizes empathy and listening to help people explore their goals and values. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then develop practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when clients want to concentrate on concrete goals and immediate steps forward rather than lengthy exploration of the past.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is shaped by the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Frantica collaborates with each person to determine which methods feel most useful and adjusts the plan as progress is made so therapy remains a shared effort.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible and fit different schedules. These options allow for flexible scheduling, easier access from home or work, and continued support when in-person visits are not possible, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists toward meaningful change.
