Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Russell integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic environment where the client’s perspective guides the work and helps with issues like self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns. CBT is a practical approach that examines patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and OCD through skills-based strategies. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which can be useful for addictions, career shifts, or lifestyle changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Russell works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she tailors sessions to meet those priorities. This collaborative process helps shape a clear plan for moving forward.
Online therapy with Dr. Russell offers flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or when in-person visits are not possible. These options support ongoing access to licensed professionals and help maintain continuity of care across different life circumstances.
