How CBT-based work translates to online therapy

Dr. Woodruff uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT teaches simple skills to notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different behaviors to ease worry and low mood. This approach is often useful for anxiety, panic symptoms, and depressive thinking.

She pairs listening with concrete steps like tracking mood, practicing short experiments, and setting small goals between sessions. This collaborative approach means the therapist and client choose which tools to try based on current needs and what feels manageable for the person.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for check-ins during work breaks or while handling caregiving duties. Some people find remote sessions better for brief focused work, while others prefer longer meetings for deeper discussion. The therapist will help determine the best way to work together based on the client's goals and daily routine.
