Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Avery draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to support clients in online settings. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a collaborative, empathic relationship where the clientâs values and experiences guide change; it helps with issues of self-esteem, belonging, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which is often effective for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, making it helpful for anger, mood instability, and coping with stress.Avery works with clients to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits best, treating the selection of methods as a collaborative process shaped by each personâs goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She tailors interventions and adjusts strategies as clients progress.
Online therapy with Avery is delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care from home, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to use evidence-informed methods in ways that suit each clientâs routine and needs.
