Online approaches that combine practical skill-building and compassionate listening

Sequoia blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work to offer both structure and attuned support. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic, while client-centered work prioritizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help clients feel understood and seen.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple practices that cultivate present-moment awareness and emotional regulation, which can be helpful for stress, grief, and trauma-related symptoms. Together these approaches are used as tools to address immediate concerns and to build lasting coping skills rather than as fixed protocols.

Finding the right mix of methods is a shared process: the therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in session. That collaborative stance helps tailor techniques and pacing so clients can try different strategies and adjust as they learn what supports them best.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try brief check-ins, or engage in longer sessions depending on what fits each person’s life and therapeutic needs.
