Approach and online options for everyday struggles
Dr. Litwins commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and is often used for anxiety, panic, mood difficulties, and phobias.She also uses solution-focused therapy to help people set short-term goals and try small, practical changes. This approach emphasizes what’s working now and builds on strengths to move forward quickly. Mindfulness practices are layered in to teach attention and stress-management skills when helpful.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she and the person collaborate to choose and adapt methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skill practice, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text lets people check in between meetings or use brief coaching-style notes. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and ongoing medical care.
