Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Antonette blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people feel heard and then try practical changes. Client-centered work focuses on building a trusting relationship, listening closely, and letting the person guide priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches simple skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people learn present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises are short and easy to practice between sessions and can help with stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Choosing which approach to emphasize is collaborative; the therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful and then adapt methods over time.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between meetings or fit brief sessions into a busy day. These options aim to make consistent work on goals more convenient and sustainable.
