Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Curtrice Scott uses established therapeutic methods to guide online sessions, beginning with cognitive-behavioral techniques that help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also integrates psychodynamic concepts to explore how past experiences and relationships influence current feelings and behaviors, which can be helpful for trauma, relationship issues, and recurring patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Curtrice works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts methods over time so therapy stays aligned with what is most helpful for the client.

Online therapy with Curtrice is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care from home or another convenient location, while allowing licensed professionals to provide focused, goal-oriented support that fits into everyday life.
