Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Dr. Baylor draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s goals and perspective guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help people develop insight and self-directed change, and it is useful for a wide range of concerns from self-esteem to relationship issues.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, anger, and many everyday stressors to build coping strategies and measurable progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Dr. Baylor works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals can combine elements from different therapies to tailor a plan that feels most effective for the client.

Online therapy with Dr. Baylor offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from wherever the client is located within the therapist’s service area.
