How Sallie blends practical approaches for online work
Sallie commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online sessions. Client-centered work means she focuses on listening and understanding your perspective before offering suggestions; this approach helps people feel heard and respected. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change parenting responses.She may also bring mindfulness techniques into sessions to help people notice stress reactions and pause before reacting. These approaches are explained and tried together, so you and she decide which fits best. Finding the right mix is part of the work, and she will collaborate with you to match methods to your goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a work break or lower bandwidth, live chat works for short check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reminders and brief coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting life and allow flexibility in how progress is made.
