How therapy approaches translate to online care

Dr. Simon often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical behavior changes that ease symptoms like anxiety and low mood. CBT is often used for stress, mood concerns, sleep problems, and adjusting thoughts that keep people stuck.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space so people can set their own goals. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these approaches to help with grounding and managing strong emotions through focused attention and present-moment strategies.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify priorities, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This means trying exercises, checking what helps, and shifting focus when needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people send updates or reflections between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and practical needs.
