Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Henrietta uses a few core approaches to guide online therapy, selecting methods that suit each person's situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress - it can help with anxiety, depression, mood symptoms, and unhelpful habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so the client feels heard and respected while exploring personal goals and values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take actions that reflect their values - this is useful for stress, avoidance, and motivation challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Henrietta collaborates with each person to determine which combination of techniques best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend appointments from home or work, and try different communication modes as needs change, while receiving support from licensed professionals and therapists who adapt methods for remote delivery.
