Therapy Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Sharonda Ocean draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be especially helpful for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and habits, then practicing more balanced ways of thinking and responding. It is often used to build coping skills for anxiety, low mood, and day-to-day stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without making situations worse. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful steps aligned with personal values, which can be useful during life changes and periods of uncertainty.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharonda collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that fit their pace and needs, adjusting along the way as new insights emerge.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent, fit support into a busy schedule, and receive help from the comfort of home.
