Sandy Stein, LPC

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional reactions. Online sessions using this approach can help people notice patterns in closeness, trust, and separation, and practice different ways of relating in everyday life.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and follows the client's pace so goals emerge naturally. This approach is useful for building self-understanding and coping when feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online work CBT often includes skill practice between sessions, like trying new routines for sleep or tracking thought patterns to reduce anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their symptoms, goals, and daily schedule. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting as needs change.

Online formats offer flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face when discussing relationships or doing more in-depth work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for situations where speaking feels easier than being on camera. Live chat and text messaging make short check-ins, skill practice, and tracking progress simple between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep steady momentum toward goals.
