Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and respect for the individual's perspective. This approach helps people increase self-understanding, build on personal strengths, and find direction when facing life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It is commonly used to address stress, anxiety, depression, and behaviors that can maintain addictions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing the intensity of trauma-related reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cheri Mills works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may occur via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access care from different locations and schedules. Licensed professionals can provide meaningful therapeutic work through these modalities, and Cheri Mills uses them to increase accessibility and help align therapy with each person's life.
