Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Sharonda Patrick uses evidence-informed methods that translate well to online sessions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, and low mood; it is commonly used to develop concrete coping skills and problem-solving strategies. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clients' existing strengths and past successes to set short-term, achievable goals and create momentum toward change; it can be particularly helpful for relationship concerns, motivation, and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharonda works collaboratively with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy remains practical and responsive.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care despite busy lives or geographical limits. These formats allow licensed professionals like Sharonda to deliver focused, goal-oriented work in ways that suit different comfort levels and daily routines.
