Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Erika Butler, LCSW, uses approaches that can be especially effective in an online setting. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, respectful space where clients can explore what they are feeling and what they want to change, at a pace that feels manageable. It can be helpful for stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and moments when someone wants to feel more grounded and understood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-focused approach that looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. It often supports clients who want tools for managing anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful patterns, and it can be useful for building coping strategies that fit day-to-day life.
