Client-centered work focuses on following what matters most to the person. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around each person’s priorities, which can help with self-esteem, identity, and interpersonal concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Online CBT often involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small, practical exercises between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

Narrative therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. When done remotely, it can be useful for addressing trauma, multicultural concerns, and life purpose by separating problems from the person and exploring alternative meanings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as progress is reviewed.
