Approaches That Guide Online Care

LaShonda "Ann" Aycock draws on client-centered therapy to build sessions around each person’s unique values and goals, offering a supportive space where the client’s perspective guides the work and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be especially helpful for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy offers tools to increase present-moment awareness and emotional regulation, useful for managing difficult emotions and improving overall coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ann works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may try different strategies and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, keeping the client’s comfort and objectives central to each decision.

Online therapy with Ann is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, accommodate different communication styles, and access licensed professionals from familiar settings.
