How her approaches work online and in session
Dr. Newton uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy together to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build calmer responses. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts that lead to anxiety and behavior you want to change. Mindfulness adds short practices that help reduce reactivity and improve attention to the present moment.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the work on each person's goals and pace. That approach emphasizes listening, validation, and practical problem solving so therapy fits daily life. She will work collaboratively to find which combination of approaches best fits needs and preferences rather than prescribing one method up front.
Online therapy makes these methods accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for in-depth conversation and exercises that benefit from face-to-face contact. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text are helpful for milestone check-ins, homework support, and staying connected between longer sessions. These options aim to make scheduling easier and fitting therapy into a busy life more practical.
