How therapy approaches translate to online work

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new actions. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns and often includes short exercises to try between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name feelings and patterns in close relationships. It can be helpful when intimacy, communication, or recurring conflict is part of what a person wants to change.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical changes that point toward a clearer goal. Sessions identify what is already working and build on those steps to create quicker momentum.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as progress is made. Clients and the therapist revisit what helps and adjust direction together.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for longer conversations and face-to-face work, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and varied daily routines.
