Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sehnaz Zor integrates client-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches to support clients in online settings. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and creating an accepting environment so individuals can explore their values and discover their own solutions; it is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and finding meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical strategies and skill-building, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets emotional experience and attachment patterns to improve connection in couples and family relationships and to reduce relational distress.

Finding the right fit among these approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, adjusting methods as therapy progresses to ensure the chosen approach aligns with the client’s situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier and care more accessible. Licensed professionals can offer consistent support across these formats, allowing clients to engage in therapy in ways that suit their routines and communication styles.
