Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Dr. Kathleen Jager draws from approaches that can be practical and supportive in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, compassionate space where the client’s perspective leads the work, which can be especially helpful during stress, grief, and major life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and practice new responses over time. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, stress, and low mood by building skills that can be applied between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers structured ways to address the impact of difficult experiences while staying grounded in the client’s pace and goals, which can support trauma recovery and related relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Jager works collaboratively with clients to clarify what they want from therapy, what feels most comfortable, and which strategies best match their needs and preferences.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule and access care from home or another comfortable location.
