Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Gina Coffaro integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping clients explore their goals and build self-understanding through a supportive therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional experience and attachment patterns, making it a helpful approach for relationship issues and intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Coffaro works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on goals, preferences, and presenting concerns. She tailors techniques from these models to suit the individual or couple rather than following a rigid protocol.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility. Sessions may be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into busy lives, manage transitions, and maintain continuity of care across locations.
