Online care: methods and options
Cora offers remote sessions that follow the same clinical approaches she uses in person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people map the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions, using tools such as cognitive restructuring and behavioral activation. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore readiness for change and to support goal-setting in an open, collaborative way. Trauma-focused therapy provides focused space to address traumatic experiences and related symptoms.
Her online approach emphasizes active collaboration: clients and the clinician identify targets for change, practice specific skills, and review progress over time. Typical techniques include investigating cognitive distortions, acceptance exercises, and relaxation strategies tailored to the client’s needs.
Remote sessions are available using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to choose the format that best fits their communication preferences and schedule.
