Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Lara Waldenmaier draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can help clients who feel stuck in worry, low mood, or unhelpful patterns by practicing new ways to respond to stressors and challenges.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental relationship. It can be especially helpful for people seeking a steady place to sort through grief, life changes, self-esteem concerns, or questions about meaning and direction. For relationship concerns, the Gottman Method offers structured tools that help couples strengthen communication, understand recurring conflict patterns, and build healthier ways of connecting day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lara collaborates with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped before, and what feels like a good fit for their goals and preferences.
Online therapy also makes it easier to get consistent support in a format that matches real life. Clients can meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility around schedules, energy levels, and location.
