Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well Online
Destiny Aldred, LMSW, draws from approaches that can be effective in online therapy while staying grounded in each client’s goals and pace. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where clients can explore emotions, patterns, and decisions in a way that feels respectful and empowering, which can be especially helpful during grief, life changes, or relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-focused approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It often includes practical strategies to identify unhelpful thinking, strengthen coping tools, and support steadier responses to stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. For clients working with trauma-related reactions, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can help process distressing memories in a structured way, supporting a shift in how those experiences are held over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Destiny collaborates with clients to choose methods that align with their needs, preferences, and what they want from therapy, adjusting over time as goals become clearer.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to fit support into a busy week and to choose the format that feels most comfortable.
