Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Arielle Griffin uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client's goals and values guide the work. This approach emphasizes active listening and collaboration, and it can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-based, often used to address anxiety, depression, stress management, and workplace or academic challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT tools can support people managing intense emotions, relationship instability, or compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Arielle works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access therapy from home or work, and use brief check-ins alongside longer sessions to support ongoing progress.
