In addition to her doctoral work, Dr. Ike is recognized as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Supervisor (LMFT-S).

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop more constructive ways of responding. It often focuses on practical strategies to manage symptoms like stress and anxious thinking and supports measurable progress over time.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within close relationships. This approach is useful for couples and families who want to improve connection, resolve recurring conflicts, and strengthen emotional bonds.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clients' strengths and goals, working toward specific, achievable changes in a relatively brief timeframe. It is oriented toward building solutions and practical steps that fit a person's daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Ike collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as the work evolves so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes scheduling more flexible and reduces barriers to getting care. These options allow clients to engage with licensed professionals from different locations, choose formats that match their comfort level, and maintain continuity of care around work and family commitments.
