Integrating proven approaches with online access
Dr. McCoy commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, while client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and the client’s own goals to foster self-understanding and self-directed growth.She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to address relationship dynamics and communication when needed, applying practical exercises to improve connection and resolve conflict. Finding the right combination of approaches is treated as a collaborative process, and she tailors methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences during early sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can engage in care from a variety of settings. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions, try different formats, and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life while working with licensed professionals who adapt strategies for remote delivery.
