Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Nancy McGraw draws from approaches that can be especially helpful in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, respectful space where clients can explore emotions and experiences at their own pace. It can be a strong fit for grief, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and times when someone feels overwhelmed or stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It often helps clients who want structured tools for stress, anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms, including strategies for managing unhelpful thinking patterns and building steadier day-to-day coping.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes strengths and workable next steps. Rather than spending all the time on what is not working, it helps clients clarify goals, identify what has helped before, and make meaningful changes in manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Nancy collaborates with clients to shape therapy around their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy also offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to stay connected to support during busy schedules, caregiving demands, or periods of change.
