Online sessions: methods and what to expect
In virtual work Althea Sawyers combines practical strategies and reflective work to address presenting concerns. She often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Sessions that draw on CBT typically focus on specific situations, thoughts, and actions to develop alternative coping strategies.
Mindfulness therapy is used to cultivate present-moment awareness and grounding techniques that can reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation. Trauma-focused therapy provides a framework for working with the effects of traumatic experiences by first establishing safety and stabilization and then addressing trauma-related symptoms at a pace the client can manage.
Sawyers approaches online work collaboratively, inviting clients to set goals, choose techniques, and review progress together. Remote appointments are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different communication preferences.
