Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Heidi Strater, LCSW, draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can work effectively in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, respectful space where clients can explore feelings and experiences at their own pace, which can be especially helpful for stress, life transitions, and caregiver strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and build healthier ways of responding. It is often used for concerns like anxiety and depression, and it can provide structure between sessions through exercises and reflection. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness, supporting people who want more steadiness when emotions feel intense.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Heidi works collaboratively with clients to understand what is bringing them in, what goals matter most, and what style of support feels most helpful, adjusting the focus over time as needs change.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can meet with Heidi by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to stay engaged in care even with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited mobility.
