Practical approaches for online therapy and real-life change

Dr. Mentor commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that keep them stuck and to practice different responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress that disrupts daily life.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies their own goals. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to create short-term, actionable steps so progress is visible and manageable between sessions.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust techniques over time. That way the plan stays relevant and realistic.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief updates, problem-solving between sessions, or when writing feels easier than talking.
