Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy

In her work, Bena uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with motivation or coping.

She also applies Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on clients' strengths and desired outcomes and helps build small, achievable steps toward those goals. This approach is useful for addressing relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and planning transitions such as life after high school.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Bena collaborates with clients to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She works together with clients to try approaches, adjust strategies, and focus on what helps them make progress.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied communication preferences. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support across distances, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and access care from home or while balancing school and family responsibilities.
