Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Marcy Shoemaker uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing symptoms. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often used for stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and many everyday challenges because it pairs short-term strategies with longer-term behavior change.

She also integrates coaching-style work to support goal setting, problem solving, and motivation. Coaching techniques can help clients who are navigating life changes, building self-esteem, or seeking clearer steps toward personal and relational goals. This work complements therapeutic interventions by translating insight into action.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Shoemaker works with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses. Licensed professionals and therapists will tailor sessions so the chosen techniques support practical progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule consistent care around busy lives. These options can increase accessibility and help clients maintain momentum between sessions while working with a licensed professional who guides treatment remotely.
