Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Existential Therapy helps people face big questions about meaning, choice, and personal values. It supports those who feel stuck by looking at how choices and beliefs shape daily life. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person in front of the therapist and emphasizes listening, acceptance, and following the client's priorities to set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and trying practical experiments to change them, which can help with anxiety, mood, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cori collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in about what feels useful and adjusts the plan when needed so sessions stay focused and relevant.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to match life demands. Video is good for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging helps keep momentum between sessions. These options make it possible to keep regular appointments from different locations and fit therapy into busy schedules.
