Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Dr. Todd commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and routines that affect parenting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity, calm stress, and improve focus during daily demands.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify strong feelings that influence relationships and intimacy. EFT-style work helps name emotions, understand where they come from, and try new responses when strong emotions get in the way of connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and life situation. That means trying strategies, adjusting as needed, and focusing on practical tools that fit daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video helps with face-to-face communication and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Chat or messaging lets people check in between appointments and use brief coaching-style exchanges. These options help make therapy more accessible for busy schedules and different comfort levels.
