Online therapy approaches and practical options
Bobbi commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and making the session about what matters most to the person, which helps when people need acceptance and clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests small changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses motivational interviewing when someone needs help finding drive to change habits like substance use. That approach helps people weigh options and build internal motivation rather than feeling pushed. Choosing the right method is a team effort - she will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt strategies as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit different days and routines. Video is useful for full conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing contact and brief exercises between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or school commitments.
