Approaches that translate well to online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying the thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going. It uses simple exercises and behavioral experiments that people can practice between sessions to see what helps.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable goals and builds on what is already working. Sessions often produce concrete action steps that are easy to test and adjust over time.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of past events on current functioning. It emphasizes pacing and skills to manage strong emotions so people can face difficult memories without becoming overwhelmed.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lynn will work with each person to understand their goals and preferences and then adapt methods that fit their situation. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone send notes or updates between sessions and keep momentum on busy days. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare, or other commitments and to keep consistent follow-up.
