Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Brenda Ticknor draws from approaches that can be effective in an online format while keeping the work practical and tailored to each person. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, respectful space where clients can clarify what they are feeling and what they want to change, which can be especially helpful when stress, anxiety, trauma, or relationship strain feels overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping them stuck, then practice new strategies that better support their goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when emotions run high or coping feels difficult.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Brenda works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, and then adjusts the plan as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, keep momentum between sessions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable.
