Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dr. Shelia Lumar 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 listening and respect, helping clients explore their values and strengths while the therapist offers empathy and support; it is helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is often used to treat anxiety, depression, and coping challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy attends to emotional experience and attachment patterns within relationships, making it useful for couples work and intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Lumar works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and presenting issues. She tailors strategies over time, adjusting interventions based on what is most helpful for each person.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for those seeking flexibility and consistent support. Sessions by video call or phone allow face-to-face interaction without travel, while live chat and text-based messaging provide convenient options for ongoing check-ins and skill practice. These formats increase accessibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt care to each client’s situation.
