How these therapy approaches work online
Dr. Ike uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of thinking and acting. CBT works well for anxiety, stress, low mood, and many everyday problems by focusing on clear steps and homework between sessions.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how emotions drive interaction. EFT helps people recognize attachment needs and change how they respond to others, which can improve connection and reduce conflict.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences, then try an approach and adjust as needed. Clients are invited to set small goals and review progress together so the plan stays useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face without traveling. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, shorter conversations, or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
