Approaches That Guide Remote Care
Cora frequently integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a supportive space so clients can explore their feelings and values and build self-compassion. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating concerns.
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques when emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, or intense mood swings are central concerns. DBT provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving relationships. Together these approaches allow for both supportive listening and skills-focused work tailored to each person’s needs.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Cora works with clients to clarify goals, assess what feels most useful, and adjust the plan over time so therapy fits each client’s preferences and pace. Remote sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and health commitments while maintaining continuity and flexibility in treatment.
