Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Sharon McKay uses a client-centered foundation, which means sessions are guided by the client’s priorities and strengths while making space for what feels most important right now. This approach can be especially helpful for people who want a supportive, collaborative setting while working through stress, relationship challenges, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools for identifying unhelpful thought patterns and shifting behaviors that keep anxiety, depression, or impulsivity cycles going. It often includes structured skill-building that clients can practice between sessions to support steady progress.
Mindfulness therapy focuses on building awareness of thoughts, emotions, and body cues in the moment, which can help clients relate differently to worry, panic, cravings, or intense feelings rather than feeling overwhelmed by them.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Sharon works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts the approach over time to match their needs.
Online therapy can make it easier to get consistent support with flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats can help clients stay connected to therapy even with busy schedules, limited transportation, or changing day-to-day demands.
