Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Joshua Rotkin, LCSW, draws from approaches that can be especially effective in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect, empathy, and a steady focus on what matters most to the client. It can be a helpful fit for people who want a supportive space to process stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma-related concerns, or relationship and family challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It often includes identifying unhelpful patterns and experimenting with new strategies, which can be useful when someone wants structure and tools for managing day-to-day difficulties.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on goals, strengths, and workable next steps. Rather than spending all the time on what is not working, it helps clients clarify what they want to be different and build momentum through small, meaningful changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Joshua works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts the focus over time to support progress in a way that feels aligned.
Online therapy also makes 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 maintain continuity, whether they are at home, traveling, or living internationally.
