How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

May integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy by helping clients identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then practice new patterns that reduce distress and improve functioning. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, grief, and problems with obsessions or compulsions.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and partnership. In this way the therapist creates space for clients to express feelings and priorities while the work grows from the client’s own goals and experiences.

Finding the right fit between approach and a person’s needs is part of the process. She collaborates with each client to select and adapt techniques based on their goals, preferences, and life circumstances so therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to schedule regular meetings and to continue work from different locations. These flexible formats let clients choose how they engage with therapy, helping to maintain continuity of care and apply new skills in everyday settings.
