Therapeutic Approaches, Made Accessible Through Online Care
Denise Carey draws from evidence-informed approaches that can translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be especially useful when stress, anxiety, depression, anger, or ADHD symptoms start to feel overwhelming.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s values and goals lead the work. This approach can be helpful for people seeking clarity, motivation, and a steadier sense of self while navigating life transitions, grief, trauma experiences, or relationship and family challenges.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that helps clients explore ambivalence and strengthen commitment to change. It is often used when someone is working through addictive behaviors, burnout, or other patterns that feel difficult to shift, step by step.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Denise works collaboratively with clients to shape the focus based on needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy can make it easier to get consistent support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can help clients fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
