Evidence-Based Techniques for Online Family and Parenting Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger while building new coping skills that improve daily functioning.

Functional Family Therapy emphasizes patterns within family systems and works to improve communication, reduce conflict, and strengthen relationships. It is often used for parenting challenges, teen issues, and blended family concerns by addressing interactions that maintain difficult behaviors.

Myrna also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their goals and increase readiness for change. This approach supports clients who may feel stuck or ambivalent about steps toward better coping or healthier relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Myrna collaborates with clients to choose and adjust methods based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, ensuring the plan fits the pace and priorities of the individual or family.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility allows clients to engage from different locations and schedules, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.
