Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Nadira Persaud, LCSW, draws from approaches that can be effective in online therapy while staying focused on each client’s goals and lived experience.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the client sets the pace and therapy is shaped around what matters most to them. It can be especially helpful for people navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and identity exploration, when having space to reflect and feel understood is a central need.
Psychodynamic Therapy explores how earlier experiences, relationships, and recurring patterns may influence present-day emotions and choices. This approach can be useful for concerns like relationship dynamics, self-esteem, grief, and feeling “stuck,” especially when the same themes keep showing up over time.
Solution-Focused Therapy is more goal-oriented and practical, helping clients identify strengths, clarify next steps, and build momentum toward change. It can fit well for coping with current stressors, workplace challenges, or communication problems when clients want actionable direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nadira collaborates with clients to tailor the work based on needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting over time as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support in a format that fits everyday life.
