Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Support

Dr. Sonya Anthony draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted effectively to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to respond differently, which many people find useful when navigating stress, anxiety, low mood, or major life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationship experiences can shape trust, boundaries, and connection in the present. It can be helpful for people working through relationship strain, family stress, or patterns that repeat across important relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and the client’s own pace, creating space to clarify values, strengths, and goals while feeling genuinely heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Anthony works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped in the past, and how they prefer to communicate, so sessions can be tailored to their needs and priorities.

Online therapy also offers flexibility and access. Clients can meet with Dr. Anthony through video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to stay engaged even with a busy schedule or changing routines.
