Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Shirley Colee integrates evidence-informed methods that can be effective in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, respectful relationship where clients can explore feelings and experiences at their own pace, which can be especially helpful when working through grief and loss, family stress, or major life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. It often helps clients build practical coping skills for stress and anxiety, strengthen problem-solving, and shift unhelpful patterns that may show up in relationships or daily routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting people who want tools to manage intense emotions and communicate more effectively.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shirley collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that fit their needs, adjusting along the way as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy also makes it easier to get consistent support. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and can use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility, accessibility, and continuity between sessions.
