Therapeutic tools that translate well to online care

Shanika Katara Jones, LMHC, draws from approaches that can be practical and engaging in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk openly, clarify what matters most, and build momentum toward meaningful change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and habits that can fuel anxiety, low mood, or relationship stress, then practice new ways of thinking and responding. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes learning to slow down, tune into the present moment, and relate differently to difficult emotions, which can be especially helpful during periods of stress and major life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shanika collaborates with each client to understand current concerns, goals, and preferences, and then adjusts the work over time so sessions feel relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to stay connected between sessions when support would be most helpful.
