Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In online sessions, CBT can be especially useful for stress and anxiety, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice practical skills they can use between sessions.Trauma-Focused Therapy offers a structured, supportive way to talk about the impact of trauma and abuse at a pace that feels manageable. It can help clients make sense of their reactions, build coping strategies, and strengthen a sense of stability in day-to-day life.
Existential Therapy centers on meaning, values, and personal choice. It can be a good fit for clients facing grief, relationship strain, or major life transitions who want space to reflect on what matters most and how to move forward with intention.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Valerie Schmude collaborates with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts the work so it feels relevant and supportive.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and access support from wherever they are in Wisconsin.
