Approaches that translate to online care
Sheryl commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and work-related patterns by teaching concrete skills and short exercises that can be practiced between sessions.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to help clients become more aware of physical sensations and emotional patterns. Mindfulness exercises can reduce reactivity and improve stress management through simple daily practices. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help clarifying goals and finding internal reasons to change; it emphasizes listening and guided questions to build motivation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Sheryl will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to choose methods that fit the individual. She adapts techniques so they work in an online format and checks in regularly to adjust the plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and exercises that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can require less bandwidth and work well for a focused check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging can be convenient for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing is easier than speaking.
