Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Deidre Means, LPC, draws from approaches that help clients feel understood while also building practical next steps. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, supportive space where goals and pace are guided by what matters most to the client, which can be especially helpful for stress, self-esteem concerns, and navigating life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practice new ways of responding. It is often used to work through anxiety, depression, and everyday coping challenges by turning insight into workable skills.
Trauma-Focused Therapy offers a structured way to process the impact of difficult experiences while strengthening stability and resilience in the present. It can support people who feel stuck in overwhelm, heightened stress reactions, or painful relationship patterns connected to past events.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Deidre collaborates with clients to identify what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy makes that support more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with communication.
