Therapy Approaches That Translate Well Online

Teneka Gerido draws from evidence-informed approaches that can work effectively in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, respectful relationship where clients can explore emotions without pressure, which can be especially helpful when stress, self-esteem concerns, or life changes feel overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding. It is often used to build day-to-day tools for anxiety, depression, and coping with difficult situations. Solution-Focused Therapy is practical and goal-oriented, helping clients identify strengths, clarify what they want to be different, and take manageable steps forward when they feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Teneka collaborates with clients to understand what they are dealing with, what they want from therapy, and what style of support feels most useful. The work can shift over time based on progress, preferences, and current needs.

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 fit support into a busy schedule and continue therapy from wherever a client is most comfortable.
