Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Elyse Daignault, LICSW, draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new skills to respond differently to stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday challenges. It is often practical and goal-oriented, with tools clients can apply between sessions.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people better understand emotional needs and patterns, especially in relationships and family dynamics. It can be useful for improving communication, rebuilding connection, and addressing cycles that keep couples or families feeling stuck.
Trauma-Focused Therapy supports clients in making sense of overwhelming experiences at a pace that feels manageable, helping them build stability, coping strategies, and clarity about how the past may be affecting the present.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elyse collaborates with clients to align sessions with their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting the plan as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy adds flexibility and access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This format can make it easier to stay consistent, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and get support in the ways that feel most comfortable.
