Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Melissa Lauer draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be especially practical in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building new ways of responding, which can be useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem challenges. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes developing steadier attention to the present moment, helping clients relate differently to difficult emotions and reduce the sense of being overwhelmed. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions oriented toward goals, strengths, and small, realistic steps, which can be helpful when someone wants forward momentum in relationships, work stress, or confidence building.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Melissa collaborates with clients to understand what they want from therapy and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the focus and tools to fit their needs, goals, and preferences over time.
Online therapy also offers flexibility in how clients connect. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support around a busy schedule or from the comfort of home.
