How these approaches translate to online therapy
Shonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and skill building that can be practiced between sessions, which fits well with video or phone meetings.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and track progress. This approach is action oriented and emphasizes small, measurable steps toward what a person wants to change.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed over time.
Online formats offer flexible ways to work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for easier scheduling. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework prompts, and steady contact between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to practice new skills in real time.
