Remote care and therapeutic approach
Ellen Silbert is a certified Telehealth clinician who provides services using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Her remote options include messaging and live chat in addition to scheduled phone or video sessions. She notes limited evening and weekend availability and typically checks messages each day.
She draws on several clinical approaches. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, respectful relationship in which the person’s experience guides the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to address them. Mindfulness Therapy introduces present-moment awareness and practices that can support coping with stress and strong emotions.
People who prefer a blend of reflective listening and concrete tools may find this combination fitting. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are also part of her approach and can be used to clarify goals and support steps toward change. Remote sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
