Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care

Tressa Henson draws from several evidence-based approaches that work well in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then practicing more balanced ways of thinking and responding. It is often used to support concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and everyday coping challenges.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy, which helps clients build awareness of thoughts, emotions, and body cues in the moment. This approach can be useful when life feels overwhelming, when emotions escalate quickly, or when someone wants to respond with more intention rather than react on autopilot.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and strengths, helping clients clarify what they want to be different and identify small, realistic actions that support forward movement in areas like relationships, parenting, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and it can evolve over time. Tressa collaborates with clients to tailor strategies based on needs, goals, and preferences so sessions feel relevant and workable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a format that fits busy schedules, changing energy levels, and different communication styles.
