Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Geri Burgess uses client-centered therapy to build a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes listening, validation, and helping people discover their own solutions to life challenges.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that explores connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps clients develop skills for managing anxiety, mood concerns, and unhelpful patterns.

Mindfulness therapy is another part of her approach, offering simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce stress responses. These techniques can be helpful for managing worry, improving sleep, and grounding emotional reactions.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Geri collaborates with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Geri can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into daily life and to stay connected with licensed professionals from wherever you are.
