How Nancy’s Methods Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following your concerns. Online sessions use that same listening-first stance so you set the pace and topics while the therapist reflects and helps you notice patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete exercises to change them; this works well in video or messaging because homework and short exercises can be shared between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify emotional needs and attachment patterns, which can be explored in live conversations to improve closeness and communication.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. You can adjust the approach as you go, combining listening-focused work with skill-building tools when that feels right.

Online formats offer flexibility for different rhythms of life. Video calls let you work face-to-face for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when you want a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for shorter updates, quick coaching between meetings, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try approaches in ways that suit your daily routine.
