Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. In practice this means the therapist listens deeply, reflects understanding, and helps clients build on their own strengths to address concerns like stress, self-esteem, or relationship tensions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, emphasizes identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers concrete strategies and skills that can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching practical tools to rethink patterns and try new responses.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, attends to feelings and attachment patterns in relationships. It helps couples and family members better recognize and express emotions, repair disconnection, and strengthen secure bonds during conflict or following betrayals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Curley works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make scheduling easier and allow work to continue from home, work, or elsewhere. These options support ongoing access to therapists while accommodating individual routines and comfort levels.
