Approaches to Therapy and the Benefits of Online Care

Dr. Katrina Stokes draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused therapy to tailor care to each person she works with. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and understanding so clients can clarify their values and goals; it is helpful for improving relationships and navigating family conflict. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to manage symptoms and cope with stress, which can be useful for grief, career challenges, and mood-related concerns. Trauma-focused therapy provides structured support for processing traumatic events and reducing the impact of trauma and abuse on daily life.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Dr. Stokes collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies over time as progress is made. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to create a personalized plan.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions, continue care from a distance, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each person seeking support.
