Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Denise Venitelli draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can work effectively in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practicing new, more workable responses. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and navigating day-to-day challenges with clearer coping strategies.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional needs, expectations, and ways of connecting. This approach can be especially helpful when family conflict, relationship strain, or feelings of abandonment and disconnection are part of what brings someone to therapy. Denise also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration so clients can explore their experiences and build on their strengths at a pace that feels manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Denise works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want from therapy and to shape the work around their goals, preferences, and what feels most supportive in the moment.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, continue care during life transitions, and choose a format that matches comfort and communication style.
