Approaches and Online Care for Personalized Support

Dr. Annette Solomon commonly draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative space where the client's goals and values guide the work. This humanistic approach emphasizes empathy and helps people explore identity, relationships, and meaning in ways that support long-term change.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, anger, or problems with sleep and coping. CBT offers practical strategies for managing symptoms and building new skills for everyday challenges.

Motivational interviewing is another technique she employs to help people strengthen their own motivation for change, especially in areas such as substance use, health behavior, and readiness for difficult transitions. This brief, supportive method is useful when people feel ambivalent or uncertain about taking the next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Solomon works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors treatment plans and adapts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it possible to access licensed professionals with greater flexibility. These formats can reduce scheduling barriers, accommodate varied communication preferences, and support continuity of care for people managing busy lives, medical conditions, or caregiving responsibilities.
