Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Dr. Tuwana Wingfield often uses client-centered therapy, which centers the person’s own goals and perspectives and helps build self-awareness, confidence, and healthier relationships. This approach is especially helpful for people working through identity, self-esteem, and interpersonal concerns.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more constructive patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation challenges.

Solution-focused therapy is another tool in her practice, emphasizing shorter-term goal setting and tangible steps to address specific problems. This approach can be effective for navigating transitions, coping with life changes, and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Wingfield collaborates with each person to select and adapt techniques based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care across different settings. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-focused support in ways that match a client’s routine and comfort level.
