Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Client-Centered Therapy is focused on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental environment where the client guides the pace and topics of work; it helps people who want to explore relationships, self-worth, life purpose, and emotional healing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact, and it can be appropriate when trauma or post-traumatic stress is a central issue.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Dale Hamilton collaborates with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences and will help determine which methods to prioritize or combine for the best fit. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. These formats can make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access care from different locations within California, and continue progress even when life circumstances change, all while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt their approaches for remote delivery.
