Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s pace, helping people set goals that feel meaningful and doable. This approach suits issues like low motivation, low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It often includes short exercises between sessions that help reduce anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact. When appropriate, EMDR can be adapted for remote work with guided exercises and careful pacing.
Porcha treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss options during early sessions, try techniques, and adjust plans based on how someone responds. The goal is to match methods to each person’s needs and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer short, flexible check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and different routines.
