Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and experiences, creating a respectful space where the therapist listens, reflects, and supports the client's sense of agency. This approach is helpful for people seeking guidance that honors their values and personal choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for managing stress, anxiety, and mood-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it a constructive option for those who want concrete tools for handling intense emotions and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. Dr. Thomas works with clients to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps tailor therapy to individual circumstances and priorities.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, by phone, through live chat, or with text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across distances, and access regulated care from licensed professionals and therapists without needing to travel to an office.
