Therapeutic approaches and online care with Dr. Solomon

Dr. Solomon commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing in her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and can explore values, relationships, and identity in a supportive setting. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting thought and behavior patterns that contribute to symptoms like anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and difficulties with coping skills. Motivational interviewing is a goal-oriented, conversational method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, often useful for addictions and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Solomon works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and to tailor methods accordingly. She and the client regularly review progress and adjust strategies so the work remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit treatment into everyday life. Sessions can take place by video call, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging, giving options for different comfort levels and schedules. These formats make it easier to access care from home, coordinate with work or family commitments, and maintain continuity of treatment with licensed professionals and therapists who can support progress over time.
