Remote services and therapeutic methods
Ursula offers online sessions that use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress or low mood, and works toward practical steps to shift those patterns. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore readiness for change and to support clients in strengthening their own reasons for pursuing new choices. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes identifying small, actionable steps and existing strengths to move toward preferred outcomes.
These approaches are presented in a collaborative way: Ursula and each client set goals together, select strategies that fit the client’s situation, and track progress over time. Online appointments are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how people engage in therapy. The online format is intended to support consistent work on coping skills, relationship concerns, and challenges such as anxiety or addictions while aligning with each person’s communication preferences.
