Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
John Rigney, LPCC, draws from several well-established approaches that can be effective in online therapy for concerns like stress, anxiety, trauma-related experiences, depression, self-esteem, and major life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, respectful relationship where the client sets the pace and priorities. It can be especially helpful when someone wants space to sort through complex feelings, build self-trust, and clarify what they truly need.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It often supports clients who want practical tools for managing anxious patterns, low mood, and the day-to-day impact of stress by identifying unhelpful thinking cycles and experimenting with new coping responses.
Mindfulness Therapy helps clients practice noticing thoughts and emotions without getting pulled under by them. This approach can support steadiness during difficult moments and encourage more intentional responses to triggers and stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. John collaborates with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adapts therapy accordingly.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and can use live chat or text-based messaging to stay engaged between sessions when that format fits best.
