Therapeutic Tools That Fit Online Life

Clarissa Lane, LCSW, draws from several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, respectful relationship where the client’s perspective leads the way, which can be especially helpful when stress, grief, or self-esteem concerns have made it hard to feel understood.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing practical strategies to respond differently, often supporting people who feel stuck in anxiety, low mood, or overwhelming stress. Clarissa also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured approach that helps people process the impact of difficult experiences, including trauma and abuse, at a pace that feels manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clarissa collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped in the past, and choose strategies that fit their needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to build consistent support around real-life schedules and to access help from home or wherever feels most comfortable.
