Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Clarissa Reed draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be thoughtfully adapted to online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, respectful space where clients can explore what they are feeling and what they want to change, which can be especially helpful for self-esteem, motivation, and navigating life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and practice new ways of responding. It is often used for concerns like stress, anxiety, and depression, and can include practical exercises to use between sessions.
For clients working on relationship concerns, the Gottman Method offers structured tools for improving communication, managing conflict, and strengthening connection, supporting couples and individuals who want clearer, healthier relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Clarissa collaborates with each client to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then adjusts the plan to better fit the client’s needs over time.
Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent with support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or times when getting to an office feels like one more hurdle.
