Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Lashanda Baylor incorporates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work in ways that are practical and collaborative. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals; it helps people build self-understanding, address relationship or life transition challenges, and strengthen self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-based approach that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and many everyday concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Dr. Baylor works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts strategies over time so the plan stays aligned with progress and priorities.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity of care, and choose the way of connecting that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
