Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy

Mary Keever integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and partnering with the client so the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them clarify values and goals. This approach is useful for building trust, improving self-understanding, and addressing relationship or self-esteem concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is skill-oriented and helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then learn practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is often used for mood regulation, worry, and everyday coping skills.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Mary collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. Working with licensed professionals in these formats can increase access to consistent care, support continuity between sessions, and allow clients to practice skills in real-world contexts while receiving guidance from their therapist.
