How Hedlun’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. In online sessions this means the therapist reflects what is said, asks clarifying questions, and helps the client name priorities and feelings so change can begin.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Online CBT sessions often include identifying patterns, trying small behavior changes between meetings, and reviewing what helped so the client can build useful habits for anxiety, depression, or phobias.
Solution-focused therapy targets practical steps and quick wins. In remote sessions the emphasis is on setting clear, short-term goals and tracking small changes that lead to larger progress over time.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hedlun will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and full discussion. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels unnecessary. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, homework feedback, or when a shorter connection fits into a day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to practice changes between sessions.
