Therapy Approaches That Translate Well Online
Vernisha Shepard, LPC, draws from several well-established approaches that can be especially helpful in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, respectful relationship where clients can explore what they are feeling and needing at their own pace. It is often useful for strengthening self-esteem, working through transitions, and reconnecting with personal values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. It can help clients notice patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship strain, and practice practical strategies that better align with their goals.
