Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Brenda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on what the person wants to change and to build a trusting working relationship. That approach helps people clarify goals and feel heard as they work through difficult topics.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT offers concrete strategies for reducing anxiety, depression, and stress by changing patterns of thinking and behavior. For trauma-related distress she integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which aims to help process painful memories and reduce their emotional intensity.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Adjustments are made over time so the work fits the person's pace and priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are well suited for in-depth discussions and skill teaching. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can support brief updates, coping prompts, and ongoing encouragement between full sessions.
