Approaches that guide online therapy sessions
Dr. Whitt uses a blend of psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques in online work. Psychodynamic perspectives help people notice long-standing relationship patterns and how past events influence current feelings. This can be useful for family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and recurring relationship conflicts.Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. These methods are practical for anxiety, stress, postpartum low mood, and communication problems because they offer concrete steps to try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals and daily life. That may mean starting with one style and adding others over time until the best mix is found.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and face-to-face connection. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in more flexibly around work or caregiving duties and can support brief updates or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied time zones.
