Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental collaboration where the therapist follows the client's lead, helping people feel heard and supported while they explore their goals and values. This approach is useful for relationship issues, identity concerns, and emotional support.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical and skills-based, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive behaviors to teach strategies that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships. It can be particularly helpful for those who struggle with emotional reactivity, self-destructive patterns, or chronic interpersonal difficulties.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time based on progress.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and increase access for people who prefer remote care. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured, evidence-informed work while remaining responsive to scheduling and communication preferences.
