Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Lewis Smith, LPC, draws from evidence-based approaches that can be effective in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and day-to-day coping challenges.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, non-judgmental relationship where clients can explore what matters most to them at their own pace. This approach can help with self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and personal growth by strengthening insight and self-trust. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotional needs and relationship patterns, helping clients better understand reactions and build more secure, connected interactions, which may be helpful when working through relationship conflict and family dynamics.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lewis works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then tailors sessions to support steady progress.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, keep momentum between sessions, and access therapy from home or while traveling.
