Wanda: My go-to approach for online therapy is to initially give the client some room to talk about goals and then take time to work on other goals. Listening is an important aspect, as you listen and see in online therapy.
Amy: Although newer to the counseling world, online therapy can be helpful to you and your therapy journey. Online therapy is convenient to your schedule and allows you to expand to counselors all around the state you live in. My go-to approach doesn't change from traditional in-person counseling. You can still expect me to make strong efforts to build our connection and implement thoughtful interventions to help you with what you're dealing with.
Wanda: Various methods including [CBT] to assist client in identifying the precipitant to their difficulties . Client will be provided symptom management and coping strategies to assist client them in managing their symptoms. Coping strategies will provide helpful ways of managing symptoms.
