Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Doreen Cook, LCSW, draws from evidence-informed methods that can be well suited to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then practicing new ways of responding. It can be especially helpful for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and unhelpful habits that keep people feeling stuck.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes strengths, existing resources, and small, realistic steps toward change. Instead of spending all the time on what is wrong, it helps clients clarify what they want to be different and identify practical actions they can start using right away, including during periods of transition or relationship strain.

Trauma-Focused Therapy provides a structured, supportive way to understand the impact of difficult experiences and build coping skills that support steadier day-to-day functioning. The pace is guided by the client’s comfort and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Doreen collaborates with clients to choose tools that fit their needs, preferences, and the concerns they want to address.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This can make it easier to get consistent support, stay connected between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy schedule.
