Online support

Approaches that translate well to online care

Dr. Hodge uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that work well over remote sessions. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression; this involves practical exercises and homework to use between sessions. Another approach centers on improving communication and relationship skills through role-play, clear feedback, and step-by-step practice to ease conflict and build connection.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different methods when needed, and adjust strategies as progress is reviewed. Clients help set the pace and pick techniques that match their needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed, and chat or messaging fits quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
