Online Therapy Grounded in Practical, Person-Centered Care
Paula Knighton draws from evidence-informed approaches that can translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building new coping skills, which can be useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, and mood-related challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most, helping clients strengthen resilience and stay connected to their values. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes empathy and a supportive therapeutic relationship, offering space to explore experiences without judgment and at a pace that feels manageable.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Paula works collaboratively with clients to understand what they are dealing with, what they want to change, and what kind of support feels most helpful, then adjusts the focus over time as goals become clearer.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, or choose live chat and text-based messaging for added convenience. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and stay connected to support in a way that matches individual needs and preferences.
