Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Teal Dick draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work - it is useful for building self-esteem, navigating life changes, and improving relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is problem-focused and practical, helping clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors and develop concrete skills to change them.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Teal collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts treatment as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to connect from home or on the go. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, respond to changing life demands, and maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are difficult to arrange.
