Approach to online therapy and practical techniques
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and then helps them set goals that feel important to them. This approach is useful when parents need a supportive, nondirective space to sort through feelings and choices.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new routines. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress during parenting or life transitions.
Paulette sees finding the right approach as a joint process. She will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, goal reminders, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy family lives.
