How Elaine’s approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and experiences. The therapist follows what matters most to the individual, reflecting and clarifying feelings to help people feel heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort through emotions or reconnect with their goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood. It teaches simple exercises to notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to improve daily functioning. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating difficulties, and anger management.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change. It uses guided questions to build motivation and set realistic steps toward a chosen goal, which can be helpful for addressing addictions or codependency patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and doable.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments.
