Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Christine "Chris" Coleman-Sandwell, LPC, draws from practical, client-focused methods that can be used effectively in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore what they are feeling and what matters most to them, which can be especially helpful when stress, relationship strain, or life transitions feel overwhelming.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative approach that helps clients work through ambivalence and strengthen their own reasons for change. It is often useful when someone feels stuck, is weighing important decisions, or wants to build momentum toward healthier patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions oriented toward goals, strengths, and workable next steps, helping clients identify what is already working and how to do more of it in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors sessions to support progress in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.

Online therapy also adds flexibility. Clients can meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into a busy schedule and stay connected during demanding weeks.
