Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Annette often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own solutions. This approach helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns by letting clients set the pace and topics.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors with concrete exercises. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with daily stress because it gives clear steps you can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Annette will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. She adapts methods over time so sessions match what matters most to the client.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and interactive skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quick verbal check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, written reflections, or step-by-step coaching between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving, and busy schedules while keeping the focus on progress and usable tools.
