Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Laurel Meine draws from approaches that help clients feel understood while also gaining practical tools for change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, respect, and meeting each person where they are. It can be especially helpful for navigating grief, life transitions, and the emotional impact of stress and anxiety.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, test new ways of thinking, and practice coping strategies that can support day-to-day functioning, including during periods of high anxiety or ongoing stress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays close attention to emotions and attachment needs, often making it useful for relationship concerns, disconnection, and the aftermath of hurtful experiences. It supports clearer emotional awareness and more secure, responsive ways of relating to others and to oneself.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Laurel collaborates with clients to shape therapy around their goals, preferences, and what feels most relevant right now, adjusting the approach as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility without losing continuity of care. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone, with additional options like live chat and text-based messaging to support progress between appointments.
