Practical approaches for online therapy
Sallie uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s experience. This approach means she listens without judgment and helps people name what matters to them. It is useful for building trust and exploring goals one step at a time.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT provides concrete tools for reducing anxiety and shifting unhelpful patterns using brief exercises and skill-building between sessions.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Sallie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose which approaches and techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video, phone, live chat, and text messaging so work can fit into busy lives. Video calls allow more direct interaction and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a work break, and chat or text options support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and accessible while tailoring how people communicate.
