Online approaches that combine skills and emotion-focused work

Dr. Ike commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in online sessions. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life transitions. EFT centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses and relational patterns, making it useful for issues tied to intimacy, communication, and attachment.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and the problems that matter most, then recommends techniques and a plan to match those priorities. Clients and therapist review progress together and adjust methods when needed to ensure the work feels effective and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy weeks or when in-person meetings are difficult, while still allowing for skills practice, emotional exploration, and ongoing support from a licensed professional.
