Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Casey Sbat

Casey often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and see how those thoughts influence emotions and behaviors - this approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and adjustment challenges. She also draws on motivational interviewing, a collaborative, guiding method that helps people resolve mixed feelings and find internal motivation to make changes, which can be useful for goals like improving relationships, managing mood, or addressing habits. In addition, her client-centered stance emphasizes listening, empathy, and building on a person’s existing strengths to support growth and resilience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Casey collaborates with each client to determine which techniques fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time to align with what helps the client make progress.

Online sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to access care from home, during work breaks, or while managing family responsibilities, allowing licensed professionals to tailor the format to each client’s life and therapeutic goals.
