How Bridget’s Approaches Fit Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflection, helping people feel heard and clearer about what matters to them. This approach is useful for stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Bridget will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates between sessions or use brief coaching during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a family schedule, workday, or when travel makes in-person visits difficult.
