Approaches That Guide Online Care
Clarissa uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the client’s perspective and goals shape the work; this approach focuses on empathy, validation, and building on individual strengths to address life challenges and motivation issues.She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve day-to-day functioning. In addition, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are offered to teach practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when relationships or intense emotions become overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Clarissa collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what is helping, what is not, and adjust the plan as work progresses.
