Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Sharmian McCoy draws from established approaches that can be especially helpful when stress, relationship strain, trauma experiences, or intimacy concerns feel hard to untangle alone.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, emotions, and actions influence one another. It supports clients in noticing unhelpful patterns and practicing more workable responses, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and day-to-day coping. Narrative Therapy invites clients to explore the stories they have carried about themselves and their experiences, then reshape those stories in ways that fit their values and goals. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding how trauma can impact the present and building skills that help clients move forward at a manageable pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharmian collaborates with clients to identify what feels most helpful based on needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the work as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy also makes support more accessible. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, shifting energy levels, and different comfort preferences.
