Practical approaches for online care and meaning making

Existential therapy looks at big questions people face when life feels uncertain. It helps people name what matters to them, clarify values, and find direction when old meanings no longer fit. This can be useful for grief, life transitions, or when anxiety or depression makes decisions feel heavy.

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s pace, helping people feel heard and able to explore their concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches clear skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are helpful for quick support, follow-up between sessions, or when someone prefers writing to talk. These options give flexibility to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
