How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Nicole blends person-centered care with cognitive behavioral and narrative strategies. A person-centered approach means the therapist listens first and follows the client’s priorities, helping them shape goals and next steps. Cognitive behavioral techniques look closely at thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression and teach practical coping skills. Narrative work helps people separate themselves from problems by retelling and reexamining life stories to find new meanings and possibilities.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to keep momentum between appointments and to practice communication or coping strategies in real life soon after a session.
