Background and approach
Rev. Stuart commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify strengths and build on what already works in a person's life.
These approaches are used together to focus on problems that matter now and on skills that last. Her background includes work on grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, bipolar and depression, and substance use issues. She also supports people coping with career transitions, caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment wounds, and life purpose questions.
Therapy with her is collaborative and practical. Clients can expect clear options, homework when helpful, and regular check-ins on progress. The aim is steady, manageable change tailored to each person's circumstances.
Using CBT and Solution-Focused Methods Online
Rev. Rhoda Stuart commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that get in the way and try small behavior changes to test new ways of coping. That approach can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and day-to-day problems. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify strengths and practical steps people can use right away to reach short-term goals.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as work proceeds. Together you will try strategies, review what helps, and shift plans when something is not working well.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls let you work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style tasks, or when typing is more comfortable than speaking. These options make it possible to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same CBT and solution-focused tools that guide in-person work.
