Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Melissa Oran draws from approaches that can be effective in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions, values, and choices at their own pace, which can be especially helpful when stress, anxiety, or life transitions feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and practice new ways of responding, with practical strategies that can support concerns like anxiety, low confidence, and day-to-day stress. Melissa also uses Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative style that helps clients work through ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which can be useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Melissa works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts the pace and tools to fit their needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, keep momentum between sessions, and access therapy from a comfortable, familiar setting.
