Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Melanie Griggs draws from approaches that can be especially effective in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore feelings and experiences at their own pace, which can be helpful during major life changes, relationship strain, grief, or periods of low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. It can help clients identify patterns that fuel stress, anxiety, or depression and practice new ways of responding to everyday challenges. Mindfulness Therapy adds tools for noticing emotions and body sensations with more steadiness, which can support coping during overwhelm, chronic stress, or difficult memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Melanie works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals and preferences, then adjusts strategies over time so sessions stay relevant and useful to what clients are facing right now.
Online therapy can make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and fit support into a full schedule. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and may also use live chat or text-based messaging for additional flexibility and accessibility.
