Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Dr. Kristina Thompson draws from several evidence-informed methods that can work effectively in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a strong, supportive relationship where clients feel heard and respected, which can be especially helpful when someone is feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns, test new perspectives, and practice practical coping skills. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, anger, and day-to-day stress management. For clients impacted by trauma and abuse, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories in a guided, step-by-step way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Thompson collaborates with clients to choose strategies that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy also makes it easier to get support in a format that fits real life. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, transportation challenges, or times when meeting in person feels difficult.
