Therapeutic Approaches for Online Work
Dr. Forrest uses Existential therapy to help people reflect on meaning, choice, and life direction; this approach suits concerns about purpose, big life transitions, and questions of identity. She also uses Client-Centered therapy which focuses on listening carefully, following the client's lead, and creating a respectful space where people can talk things through at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is offered when there are clear thought and behavior patterns to change and can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, adjust them as progress is made, and combine approaches when that helps reach a client's goals. That collaborative process aims to match strategies to what a person actually needs and prefers.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone calls are helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing shorter contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
