Therapeutic Approaches for Online Therapy

Tenisha Pettus draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Systemic Therapy to guide remote work in ways that suit individual and family needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like stress and anxiety and to improve coping skills. Systemic Therapy looks at relationships and family dynamics, helping clients explore patterns between people and find new ways to communicate and solve problems.

She approaches treatment collaboratively, discussing options with each client and helping to determine which method or combination of methods best fits their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. This process is a partnership in which the therapist and client work together to tailor the plan and adjust it over time as needs change.

Online sessions allow clients to connect with licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from wherever a client is located within the therapist's service area, while preserving continuity of care during life transitions and changing routines.
