Therapeutic approaches offered online

Dr. Baylor commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a client-centered approach when working with clients. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching concrete strategies to change them - it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, giving individuals a space to explore their goals and values while the therapist adapts support to the person’s needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and she works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns. Together they review options, try strategies, and adjust the plan as progress is made, so treatment feels personalized and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions provide a simpler option when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
