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. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes goals, strengths, and small, realistic steps forward, which can be motivating when someone wants to make progress without feeling overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erika collaborates with clients to clarify needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts the plan so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to stay consistent with support, whether someone prefers scheduled sessions, brief check-ins, or a mix of both.
