Online support
How Terry's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and values, helping people feel heard and guiding them to make choices that fit their life. It is useful for building confidence and clarifying what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by testing small, practical changes. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is an approach used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact when clients are ready to address those experiences.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods over time. Clients often try a mix of strategies and refine the plan as they notice what helps.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let therapists and clients work face-to-face when a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, and ongoing skill practice between longer visits. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across busy schedules and different locations.
