Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Through Online Therapy
Ruth Hickmon, LMHC, integrates practical, research-informed approaches that can translate well to online care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new responses to concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy builds skills for staying present with thoughts and emotions without getting pulled into them, which can support steadier coping during panic, grief, trauma-related stress, and major life changes. For relationship concerns, the Gottman Method offers structured tools for improving communication, strengthening friendship and trust, and working through conflict in a more constructive way.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ruth collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has or has not worked before, and tailor sessions to fit each person’s pace and preferences. The focus stays on building skills and insight that feel relevant in real life.
Online therapy can make support easier to access and maintain over time. Clients can meet with Ruth through video calls or phone sessions, and also use live chat or text-based messaging when that format fits best. This flexibility can be especially helpful for busy schedules, parenting demands, or times when extra support between sessions is useful.
