How CBT and other approaches work in remote sessions
Dr. Wiggins uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and to try practical experiments that change reactions. Client-Centered Therapy is used to keep the conversation focused on the person's priorities, encouraging clear expression and collaboration. Narrative Therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and consider alternative ways of understanding difficult events.Deciding which approach to use is part of the collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as work progresses. The process is meant to be practical and focused on small, achievable steps rather than a single technique imposed up front.
The site asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can be more consistent with everyday life.
