How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Geri uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a practical, skills-based way to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood-related concerns. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes understanding the person, empathic listening, and creating a collaborative relationship that supports personal growth and self-directed change. Narrative Therapy is another tool she employs to help people reframe their life stories and separate themselves from problem-saturated identities, which can be particularly helpful for issues like shame, guilt, and family of origin concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. She collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and she adapts techniques over time as needs evolve. This collaborative planning ensures interventions remain relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and accessibility from different locations. These options allow clients to engage in regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care even when in-person visits are not possible.
