How cognitive behavioral work translates to online therapy
Colette uses cognitive behavioral health approaches in her practice, which focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. This style typically involves setting clear, measurable goals, trying specific strategies between sessions, and reviewing what helped or didn’t help.She also draws on practical problem solving aimed at daily life challenges, such as managing anxiety, improving sleep, or handling parenting stress. These methods are short-term and skills-focused, which can fit well into a paced online plan where progress is reviewed regularly.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can be adjusted over time as the client and therapist learn what helps most.
