Therapeutic approaches for online care

Winzetta "Wendy" Jenkins uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the client's perspective guides the work - this approach helps people feel heard and valued while exploring personal goals and emotional concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps clients find their own reasons for change and build motivation for steps forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jenkins works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts techniques over time so the treatment fits the individual's pace and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations, making it easier to maintain consistency and integrate therapy into everyday life.
