Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and perspectives, offering a supportive environment where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them explore feelings and choices. This approach is useful for building trust, improving self-understanding, and navigating relationship or identity concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT provides practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and develop coping tools for everyday challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and learning concrete ways to respond differently in stressful moments.
Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, allow consistent continuity of care across locations, and let clients engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists to pursue meaningful change.
