Therapeutic approaches for online care
Dr. Collins commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening, nonjudgmental space where people can describe what matters most to them and set personal goals. This approach helps when someone needs to clarify values, process grief, or build confidence in decision making.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a skills-based approach that looks at thoughts and behaviors that affect mood. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, stress, low mood, and patterns that interfere with work or relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills when intense feelings or relationship strain are present.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review a person’s concerns and goals and suggest options, then adjust methods as work progresses. Clients have input on which skills and strategies feel most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is good for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can fit a shorter check-in during a break, and messaging or live chat can support ongoing skill practice between visits. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or parenting responsibilities.
