Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Anna Vardakis, LCSW, draws from approaches that can be effective in online therapy while staying grounded in each client’s goals. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions, identity, and life experiences at their own pace. It can be especially helpful when stress, grief, trauma, or relationship concerns feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It often supports clients who want practical tools for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and coping with life changes by identifying patterns and testing new ways of responding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skill-building for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when emotions feel intense or relationships feel difficult to navigate.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Anna works collaboratively with clients to understand what they are hoping for in therapy, what has or has not helped before, and which strategies fit their preferences and day-to-day life.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, with additional options like live chat or text-based messaging to support consistent connection and accessible care between appointments.
