Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Laura Frelich

Client-Centered Therapy is grounded in empathy and respect - the therapist creates an accepting space and follows the client's lead to build insight and self-direction. This approach can be helpful for people facing relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions because it emphasizes personal strengths and collaborative goal-setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns and developing practical skills to manage symptoms. CBT is often used to address stress, anxiety, depression, and problem-focused concerns such as anger and addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Laura works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore techniques and adjust the plan over time so that therapy remains useful and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or work, and access licensed professionals when in-person visits are not convenient, while preserving the same therapeutic focus and skill-building work that happens in traditional therapy.
