Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and the individual's own strengths to guide change. This approach suits people working on self-esteem, life transitions, or building confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. It is action-oriented and often includes goal setting and skill practice between sessions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is aimed at addressing the effects of traumatic experiences, combining stabilization, processing, and coping strategies to reduce trauma-related symptoms and support recovery.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sharie Gilner, as a licensed professional, works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Therapists often integrate elements from different methods to tailor care for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around daily life and maintain continuity of care. These options allow clients to choose the format that best matches their comfort level and practical needs while working with a licensed professional.
