Approaches and Online Care with a Licensed Psychologist

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead. It helps people explore personal values, improve self-understanding, and address relational or life-stage concerns by building on the client’s own strengths and insights.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for symptoms of anxiety and depression and for developing practical coping strategies to manage day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Lockton works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support while accommodating varied routines and life demands, making it easier to maintain momentum in therapy.
