How Angela applies CBT and solution-focused work online

Angela commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts that increase stress or anxiety and practice different responses. CBT often involves short exercises and behavior experiments that can be tried between sessions to test what helps.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals and find small, practical steps that create momentum. This approach is useful when someone wants focused progress on a few specific problems, such as sleep, parenting challenges, or relationship habits.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. They adjust methods over time so the work fits the person's needs and pace.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving. Phone or chat can be quicker check-ins or easier when bandwidth is limited, while video is useful when nonverbal feedback matters. Text-based messaging supports shorter, ongoing contact and follow-up between appointments.
