How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Burton uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns and replace them with skills that reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support problem solving. She also integrates client-centered therapy, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting to ensure treatment reflects each person's priorities and experience. These approaches are suited to issues such as stress, depression, relationship difficulties, ADHD-related focusing problems, and adjusting to life transitions.

Finding the best approach is treated as a collaborative process; the therapist and client work together to select or blend methods based on the client's goals, preferences, and the challenges presented. This means techniques may shift over time as progress is reviewed and new needs emerge, with an emphasis on practical strategies that fit daily life.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility around work, caregiving, and geographic limitations. These options allow for session timing that fits a client's schedule and the ability to continue care when in-person visits are not practical, while preserving the same therapeutic methods and professional standards used in traditional practice.
