Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Lisa Hammes integrates client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while exploring their goals. This approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and decisions about life changes by focusing on the individual's values and strengths.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skills-focused, making it well suited to structured work over video or phone sessions and for practicing techniques between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is another method she draws on to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and lets clients access care from familiar environments. These options support consistent care and make it easier to integrate therapy into busy lives while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor sessions to each person's circumstances.
