Approaches and Online Therapy Options
Rita draws from a few evidence-based approaches to help people feel better and cope with life challenges. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect; it helps with anxiety, low mood, and practical problem-solving. Skills-based approaches borrowed from dialectical methods teach emotion regulation and stress tolerance techniques for intense mood swings or high stress. A humanistic, strength-focused perspective centers on each person's values and existing strengths to build self-respect and clearer choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rita will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what feels comfortable. Together they choose techniques that match the person's needs and adjust them over time in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need frequent brief touchpoints, or want support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
