Evidence-Based Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Beth Curry uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. This approach is practical and skills-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also incorporates mindfulness-based techniques, drawing on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction training to teach present-moment awareness and stress management skills that support emotional regulation and resilience. Motivational interviewing is another core tool she employs to help clients explore ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, which can be especially helpful for substance use, readiness for behavior change, and goal-directed work.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Beth Curry collaborates with clients to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to each person’s circumstances and values.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and varying levels of interaction. These formats make it easier for clients to access licensed professionals from different locations and to continue consistent work on skills and goals without requiring in-person visits.
