Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Dr. Rebecca Sinclair draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to guide her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, addictive behaviors, and challenges with coping. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, helping clients manage stress, emotional reactivity, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Sinclair works with each person to explore goals, symptoms, preferences, and life circumstances, and together they select or adapt methods that fit the client’s needs. This flexible, client-centered approach helps tailor interventions to what feels most useful for that individual.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for many people. Video calls and phone sessions allow for real-time conversation and therapeutic connection, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible options for check-ins, coaching-style support, or shorter interactions between sessions. These formats make it easier to access consistent care across schedules and locations while maintaining the engagement needed for meaningful progress.
