How CBT and emotion-focused work translate to online therapy

Dr. Way commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions teach practical skills such as breathing, activity planning, and thought reframing that can be practiced between meetings to reduce anxiety and depression.

She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s goals and pace, and emotionally-focused ideas when attachment or relationship concerns are central. These approaches emphasize listening, validating feelings, and helping people build clearer emotional awareness during conversations.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try approaches that fit a person’s needs, and adjust plans as progress or new issues emerge. Clients and therapist pick methods together based on what feels most helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy sessions and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone calls take less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
