Therapeutic Approaches for Online Recovery and Growth
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and then builds practical skills to change those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that benefit from structured skill-building.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that strengthens a person’s own motivation and commitment to change. It is especially useful when addressing substance use, ambivalence about change, or building readiness for new behaviors.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes identifying strengths and small, achievable steps toward clients' goals, which can be helpful for coping with life changes, relationship concerns, and career transitions. Martha Gillen draws on these approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and priorities, working together with clients to determine the best fit based on goals, preferences, and progress.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each individual.
