Applying Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Online Care

Aileen Stotter uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - as a core approach, focusing on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, test new perspectives, and develop practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior-related concerns such as eating or anger issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Aileen collaborates with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they determine whether CBT or another strategy is the best fit. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the client s changing priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility for those with busy schedules or limited local options. Sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing continuity of care across different settings. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and maintain regular progress while fitting therapy into everyday life.
