Approaches and Access for Online Therapy

Chelette McClendon uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the client's priorities guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathetic listening and respect, helping people explore their values and make changes that feel authentic to them.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. CBT is action-oriented and often useful for addressing patterns that contribute to day-to-day difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is decided collaboratively. Chelette works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors methods so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model of care. That collaborative process helps determine whether client-centered techniques, CBT, or a mix of approaches will be most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so care can fit around work, family, and mobility needs. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain consistency between sessions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
