Approaches in online counseling and flexible session options
Dr. Hamm often uses cognitive-behavioral techniques that help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce symptoms. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and some stress-related issues.She also draws on person-centered approaches which prioritize deep listening and empathy to help someone feel heard and understood. Mindfulness-based practices are included to support emotion regulation, stress reduction, and improved sleep through simple attention exercises.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust techniques over time to match progress and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and longer work on skills. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and message-based exchanges offer flexibility for short updates and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied locations.
