How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping them clarify what matters and choose steps to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress. It is useful for worry, compulsions, and mood shifts. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, concentrates on emotional patterns in relationships and helps people communicate needs more clearly to reduce conflict.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Rochelle will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. Sessions can combine techniques over time so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible, and messaging or chat can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy daily routines while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
