How Betty’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace, with the therapist offering empathy and support so the client can lead what matters most. This approach is helpful when someone needs space to clarify values, identity, or relationship priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. It works well for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors by giving concrete steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Betty collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress is made. Clients have input on goals, what feels most useful, and the pace of change.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video lets people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or multitasking is needed. Live chat and text let someone check in quickly or use shorter written check-ins between longer sessions. These options add flexibility for parents, shift workers, and people juggling school or work.
