Practical approaches for online counseling
Steffanie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify upsetting thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like panic, worry, and low mood. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities so sessions reflect what matters most to them.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she collaborates to try approaches and adjust them over time so they fit the person's needs and schedule.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see facial cues and hold longer sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send updates, ask quick questions, or use therapy between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life while still working on practical skills and problem solving.
