Approaches to online therapy for relationships and life changes

Angelique (Gigi) Tsontos integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients can explore values, identity, and relationship goals in a nonjudgmental space. This approach is helpful for communication issues, self-esteem, and questions about life purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop alternative thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with transitions, providing concrete strategies to reduce distress and improve functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Angelique works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts interventions over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer scheduling flexibility, ease of access from different locations, and multiple ways to communicate so therapy can fit into busy lives and varying comfort levels.
