How targeted approaches translate to online work
Dr. Seavy commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety, depression, anger, or sleep trouble. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and homework to test what helps between meetings.He also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. This approach focuses on building a person’s own reasons for change and increasing readiness with brief, goal-focused conversations. Solution-focused work is used to identify small, workable steps and strengths that move someone toward clear goals.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust plans over time based on what proves helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing prompts between sessions. These options allow flexibility so people can keep progress moving despite scheduling or travel constraints.
