Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Terri commonly integrates meditation and mindful practices into her work. These techniques teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce anxiety and calm the body, which can help with phobias and stress-related symptoms.She also uses reflective life-review and meaning-focused work to help people facing grief, major transitions, or aging-related questions. That approach guides people to track what has mattered in their lives and make conscious choices about next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Terri will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She checks in about what is working and adapts the plan so it stays useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer talk sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief support, timely coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity across life changes.
