Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well Online
Lori Arceneaux draws from approaches that can be practical and supportive in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, encouraging relationship where clients can explore what they are feeling at their own pace, which can be especially helpful when someone is overwhelmed, uncertain, or ready for change but not sure where to start.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practice new coping strategies. It is often used to address stress, anxiety, depression, and day-to-day problem solving. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is frequently used in couple and family work, helping people better understand emotional needs, reduce reactive cycles, and create more supportive ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lori works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and current challenges, then adjusts the focus and pacing to fit what is most useful in the moment.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to get support consistently, fit sessions into busy schedules, and choose the format that feels most comfortable.
