Therapeutic Approaches in Tiffany Reaves' Online Practice

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skills-oriented, often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and acceptance practices that help reduce reactivity and build greater calm in daily life, which can support coping with anxiety and intense emotions. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and healing the effects of traumatic experiences; it helps clients process trauma, reduce symptoms that interfere with daily functioning, and develop safety and coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tiffany works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore which methods feel most helpful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care from different locations. These options let therapists and clients focus on practical, effective work without the constraints of in-person appointments.
