Therapeutic Approaches for Virtual Care

Gwendolyn Henry uses several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and following the client’s own goals, offering empathy and acceptance to help people move toward change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method that can help people process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of distressing recollections.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Henry works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward meaningful change.
