How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Fields commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or depression. CBT is hands-on and often involves practicing skills between sessions to see what changes.

She also uses client-centered techniques that emphasize listening, empathy, and collaboration so the person feels heard while making decisions about goals and next steps. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress, grounding, and tolerating strong emotions through simple attention exercises.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. The plan can be adjusted as progress is observed and as life circumstances change.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to allow flexibility. Video is useful for longer sessions and exercises that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging is helpful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it possible to keep therapy working around work, caregiving, or health limitations.
