Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Solomon frequently uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, empathetic space where a person’s own goals and values guide the work; this approach helps with relationship, identity, and life-transition concerns by emphasizing personal strengths and collaboration. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and difficulties with coping, and to teach practical skills for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. Motivational interviewing is another core tool she uses to build readiness for change, especially useful for addictions and ambivalence about treatment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Solomon works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts techniques over time to find the best fit for progress and well-being.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limitations, or caregiving responsibilities. Sessions can be conducted by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing continuity of care and multiple ways to engage depending on what feels most comfortable and effective for the individual.
