Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
April Hitchcock-Fofana, LMSW, integrates practical, evidence-based approaches that can work well in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building understanding and trust while keeping the client’s goals and values at the center of the work. This approach can be especially helpful when someone wants support processing emotions, navigating life transitions, or strengthening self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practice new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when feelings become intense or hard to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. April works collaboratively with clients to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can support consistency between sessions and make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, whether someone is balancing work, caregiving responsibilities, or a busy schedule.
