Online Therapy Tools That Fit Your Goals
Catherine Eccles, LICSW, draws from practical, evidence-informed approaches to help clients understand what is getting in the way and start making changes that feel doable.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk openly, clarify what matters most, and reconnect with personal strengths. It can be especially helpful when stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes make it hard to know where to start.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practice new ways of responding. This approach is often used to build coping skills for anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, and mood-related challenges in day-to-day life.
Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes learning to slow down and observe thoughts and emotions without getting pulled into them. It can support steadier coping during overwhelming moments and strengthen the ability to respond with intention rather than reacting on autopilot.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Catherine works collaboratively with clients to tailor sessions to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the pace and focus as those needs evolve.
Online therapy also makes it easier to fit support into real life. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with communication.
