Approaches for online counseling and real-life change
Rebecca commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to reduce worry, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for immediate steps and strengths clients already have, helping people set short-term goals and try small changes that bring quick relief.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to use CBT skills, a solution-focused plan, or a mix of both and then adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for more in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can be good for brief check-ins or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit counseling around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping continuity of care.
