Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks and stress-related concerns and focuses on concrete skills that can be practiced between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings. This approach can reduce reactivity to stress, support emotional regulation and complement work on depression, anxiety and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laurel Eigner works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure the plan feels practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy offers adaptable ways to engage in this work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving and other obligations, and they expand access for people who may prefer remote care. Laurel integrates her clinical approaches into these formats to support consistent, effective treatment that fits into clients’ lives.
