Approaches that translate to online care
Rebecca commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life changes, which can reduce worry and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help manage stress and emotional reactivity.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationship patterns affect current behavior and trust. That approach helps when relationship patterns or parenting stress feel stuck, by identifying repeat patterns and trying new ways of connecting.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels useful. Clients shape the pace and focus so therapy fits their needs and daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and working through exercises together. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging offer quick touchpoints and ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep progress moving forward.
