Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Dr. Rasp uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's priorities and create a comfortable pace for work. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and shaping goals around what matters most to the client.He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into concrete patterns to change. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many daily stressors. For trauma work he incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a method that helps reduce the intensity of traumatic memories when it is a good fit for the client's needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client's goals, comfort, and preferences. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what the person wants to accomplish.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people use visual cues and more interactive exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support quick check-ins, and text-based messaging is useful for short updates or coping prompts between meetings. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
