Therapeutic approaches in online care

Kristi Jefferson draws on Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that centers the client's perspective and experiences. This method emphasizes empathy and validation, helping individuals explore their values and build self-directed growth, which can be especially helpful for issues like self-esteem and life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based approach that helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and develop new patterns of coping. CBT is often effective for stress, anxiety, depression, and situations where specific strategies can reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Kristi works with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible match.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations.
