Therapeutic approaches suited to online care

Dr. Ike commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused ideas when working online. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Emotionally-focused work encourages naming core feelings and shifting the way people respond in close relationships, which is useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on thought skills, emotional patterns, short-term solutions, or a mix of these methods.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, keep momentum between meetings, and try tools in day-to-day life. Licensed professionals can use these formats to guide skill practice, process emotions, and set small goals that move people forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
