How CBT and Client-Centered Work Online

Dr. Visaggi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening closely to each person's experience and building goals at a comfortable pace. Mindfulness techniques are often woven in to help with stress and attention when useful.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust as needed. Finding what feels most useful together is part of the early work.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone is helpful when bandwidth is low or a hands-free option is needed. Chat or text works well for shorter check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep up with visits, fit sessions into a busy week, and try different formats to see what helps most.
