Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well Online
Dr. Carla Mueller draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online format. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new skills that support day-to-day coping, especially when stress or anxiety feels overwhelming.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the client sets the pace. This approach can be especially helpful for building clarity, self-esteem, and confidence in decision-making. Mindfulness Therapy adds practical tools for staying grounded in the present moment, which many people find useful when emotions feel intense or hard to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Mueller works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or has not been helpful in the past, then adjusts the focus over time as needs evolve.
