Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy invites the therapist to follow the clients lead, offering empathic listening and support while clients explore their values and choices. This approach can be helpful for building self-esteem, increasing motivation, and addressing relationship or parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors in a practical, skills-based way. CBT is often used to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to develop coping strategies for everyday stressors.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move clients toward their goals, making it useful when people want quick, actionable strategies for specific problems.

Violetta will work collaboratively to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits a clients needs, goals, and preferences. She treats the selection of methods as part of the therapeutic process, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Violetta is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or those who prefer to meet remotely. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals without rearranging daily life while maintaining continuity of care.
