Approaches you can try online with Dr. Schneider
Client-centered therapy emphasizes being heard and respected. In sessions the therapist follows your lead, asks about what matters most, and shapes support around your priorities; this approach helps when you want a safe space to talk and set personal goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thinking and to try small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety, lift mood, or improve focus.
Motivational interviewing helps untangle mixed feelings about change. It’s useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about making shifts around substance use, routines, or other habits.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video is good for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and messaging makes it easy to continue work between meetings. These options make it simpler to get consistent support around busy lives.
