Therapeutic approaches and online care

Rosemarie Reis draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing to guide her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening and empathy, helping individuals explore their feelings and build self-acceptance - it is often helpful for concerns like low self-esteem, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, making it relevant for clients facing difficult decisions or trying to adopt new habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rosemarie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She integrates techniques as appropriate rather than relying on a single model, adapting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible options for fitting therapy into a busy life. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, accommodate mobility or scheduling constraints, and access licensed professionals from locations across Ohio.
