Therapeutic Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Erica Ruse Whalley draws from established methods to help clients make sense of what they are facing and find practical ways forward. In Client-Centered Therapy, the focus stays on the client’s experience, values, and goals, with a supportive style that helps people feel heard while they work toward change.CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is a structured approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It can be useful for issues such as anxiety, low mood, stress, and unhelpful patterns that keep repeating. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and ongoing relationships shape closeness, trust, and emotional needs, which can be especially relevant for relationship concerns, family difficulties, and adoption-related experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Erica works collaboratively, helping clients clarify what they want from therapy and adjusting the work to match their needs, goals, and preferences over time.
Online therapy also makes support easier to fit into real life. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility when schedules are busy, energy is limited, or meeting in person is not practical.
