Therapeutic approaches for effective online support
Cara uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach helps people who want to build self-understanding, improve self-esteem, and feel heard during periods of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety and depression and improving mood and functioning. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can be helpful for stress, rumination, and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Cara works with clients and registered professionals to explore which methods best suit the individual’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging are all options. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow access from different locations, and provide multiple ways for clients to engage in the therapeutic work in ways that feel most comfortable to them.
