Approaches Used in Online Therapy and What They Help

Andrea LeBeau integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy into her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s perspective guides the goals and pace of treatment - this is helpful for building trust, improving self-esteem, and navigating family and relationship concerns.

CBT is a structured approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and managing symptoms related to trauma or mood difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, which can reduce reactivity, improve emotion regulation, and support stress management.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress is made. Licensed professionals and therapists may use a combination of these strategies to suit each client’s situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and many people also value live chat or text-based messaging for check-ins and ongoing support. These options make it easier to access care from home, balance appointments with work or family, and maintain continuity of support when schedules or circumstances change.
