Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Rodney Carson, LCSW, draws from practical, skills-based approaches that can be used effectively in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be especially useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, and day-to-day overwhelm. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes learning to pay attention to the present moment with more steadiness, helping clients relate differently to difficult emotions, cravings, or physical discomfort without feeling pulled off course by them.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative approach that helps clients strengthen their own reasons for change. It can be particularly supportive when someone feels ambivalent, worn down, or unsure where to start, including in areas like recovery, health habits, or major life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rodney works with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped in the past, and choose strategies that fit their values and preferences, adjusting along the way as needs change.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to access support from home, keep momentum between sessions, and choose a format that matches energy level, schedule, and communication style.
