How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on being present and listening without judgment. Online sessions using this approach usually center on the client's immediate concerns and priorities, with the therapist reflecting understanding and helping set the agenda for change.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings. In an online setting CBT can involve tracking thoughts, practicing new skills between sessions, and reviewing homework together to reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, or sleep-related behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may combine approaches as needed. That process is paced to match what the person is ready to try.
