Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Horton uses Existential therapy to help people address questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility; this approach supports people facing life transitions, grief, or uncertainty. Client-Centered therapy is about listening closely and following the person's lead, which helps build trust and clearer self-understanding in conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and tackle sleep or stress problems.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Dr. Horton collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation sessions. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a camera-free option is preferred. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible check-ins, brief coaching, and easy ways to continue progress between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
