Therapeutic approaches and online options

Dr. Starks often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate their identity from the problems they face and rewrite difficult life chapters. This approach can be useful for people dealing with trauma, grief, or ongoing patterns they want to change. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's perspective and goals and helps build a trusting working relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is included to identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Starks helps clients choose methods based on their goals, comfort level, and what feels most practical. She checks in over time and adjusts techniques so sessions remain relevant and collaborative.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper real-time conversations, phone sessions can fit into a busy schedule or use less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching-style contact. These options make therapy more accessible and help clients maintain continuity despite busy lives.
