Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Lisa Briggs draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy to meet clients where they are. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, allowing individuals to explore their feelings and priorities while the therapist supports their autonomy and self-discovery. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to manage anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on goals and actionable steps, helping clients build on existing strengths to address specific problems and navigate life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She may combine elements from different approaches and adjust strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy with Lisa offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care. These options can increase accessibility, support consistent follow-through, and allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that feel most comfortable to them.
