How CBT and online sessions can help you cope
Randy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them against real-life evidence, and practicing new responses to reduce anxiety or low mood. It is often helpful for stress, panic, depression, and relationship patterns.In session Randy explains techniques in plain language and practices them with clients so those tools can be used between meetings. She works collaboratively to find the best approach for each person, adjusting methods based on goals and what feels most useful. The choice of technique is part of the work rather than a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for Randy's work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share thoughts between sessions and get brief support without scheduling a full call. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
