How these approaches work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on finding patterns of thought that lead to unhelpful behaviors and practicing new actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing ADHD-related difficulties like distraction and impulsivity.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and the client’s existing strengths. Sessions identify concrete next steps so progress can begin quickly and build momentum in daily life.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to boost a person’s motivation for change. It helps people weigh pros and cons, clarify goals, and commit to realistic steps when they feel unsure or stuck.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they select or blend methods that fit the issue and the client’s pace.
Online sessions make attending therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face work when that is helpful. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send thoughts between sessions and receive brief support without scheduling a full call.
