Therapeutic Approaches and Online Work

Elizabeth "Liz" Hummert integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead - this approach is often helpful for building self-understanding, confidence, and motivation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when addressing the effects of traumatic experiences, using targeted methods to help reduce trauma-related symptoms and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Hummert works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as treatment progresses to ensure the best possible fit between the therapist’s techniques and the client’s priorities.

Online sessions through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more accessible and flexible for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support across different settings and enable clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
