How these approaches translate to online work

CBT helps people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. Online sessions using CBT often focus on specific skills like managing worry, planning pleasant activities, and testing anxious predictions. Motivational Interviewing centers on helping someone find their own reasons for change and build momentum; it is useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about moving forward. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates conversations on immediate goals and small steps that produce visible progress, which can be helpful when time is limited or a clear target is wanted.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Abigail will discuss options and together with the client decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change over time as needs evolve, and sessions aim to be collaborative and practical.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people choose quieter times of day, avoid commuting, or pick sessions that work around caregiving or medical appointments. Licensed professionals adapt tools and homework to work in remote sessions so progress can continue between meetings.
