Online and remote therapy options
Kelli integrates client-centered principles with structured methods to create collaborative online sessions. Client-centered work emphasizes empathy, active listening, and building a therapeutic relationship that allows thoughts and feelings to be explored. In this setting she invites clients to set the agenda and pace so sessions can reflect immediate concerns and longer term goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, and mood challenges. Together with clients, she examines specific situations and develops practical strategies to shift responses over time. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is applied when relationship patterns and attachment responses are central; this approach focuses on understanding underlying emotions and how they shape interactions. Sessions are offered remotely and may take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Kelli works collaboratively to determine which combination of approaches and communication formats best fits each person’s needs and circumstances.What is Kelli Whiteaker's professional experience?
