Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Support

Geri Burgess integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy to address a wide range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports personal insight and self-directed growth - it is especially helpful for building trust and exploring relational or identity concerns. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep-related issues. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can aid those coping with trauma, grief, or chronic stress.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Geri works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting strategies as therapy unfolds. This partnership helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Geri can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and for people in different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support when life circumstances or geography would otherwise make in-person sessions difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver thoughtful, goal-oriented care that meets clients where they are.
