Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own perspective and strengths, creating a supportive space where goals and values guide progress. This approach helps people gain clarity, build self-trust, and address issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and coping with stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve coping with addiction-related patterns, and support behavior change in work and relationships.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional experiences and interpersonal bonds, making it useful for couples and individuals navigating relationship challenges, attachment concerns, and intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Dr. Shelia Lumar works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life changes, and engage with a licensed professional from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
