Therapy Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Juanita Riley draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be used effectively in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can help clients notice unhelpful patterns, practice new coping skills, and approach concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday overwhelm with more clarity and structure.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes building psychological flexibility. Rather than fighting difficult emotions, ACT helps clients make room for what they feel while taking practical steps aligned with personal values, which can be especially helpful during grief, life changes, and relationship strain. Client-Centered Therapy brings a supportive, nonjudgmental style that prioritizes the client’s pace and perspective, making space for deeper self-understanding and growth.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Juanita collaborates with each client to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts the focus over time as needs evolve.
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 schedule and choose the format that feels most comfortable from one week to the next.
