Therapeutic Approaches That Fit Online Care
In online therapy with Liza Chigos, the work can be grounded in Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, respect, and a supportive pace. This approach can be especially helpful when someone wants space to sort through stress, grief, life changes, or the impact of trauma without feeling judged or boxed into labels.She may also draw from Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative style that helps people explore what matters most to them and strengthen follow-through on change. It can be useful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled in different directions and wants clearer next steps.
Solution-Focused Therapy can add a practical, goal-oriented layer by identifying what is already working and building small, realistic changes over time. This can be a good fit for managing anxiety, coping at work, or navigating high-pressure roles like first responders and hospital staff.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Liza works with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting the plan as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support from home, between shifts, or during busy weeks.
