Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Jean Hannigan, LCPC, draws from approaches that can be especially helpful in online therapy for concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and recovery from narcissistic abuse.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore what they are experiencing and clarify what they want to change. It can be a good fit for people who want to feel heard while building self-understanding and self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps clients and couples better recognize emotional patterns and strengthen connection through more open, responsive communication. Mindfulness Therapy adds practical skills for noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, which can be useful when worry, overwhelm, or intense emotions feel hard to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jean collaborates with clients to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts the work over time based on what is most helpful and sustainable.
Online therapy also offers flexibility in how support happens, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to keep care consistent, whether a client prefers real-time conversation or benefits from writing between sessions.
