Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and listening. In this approach the therapist follows the client's lead, offering acceptance and support to help people build self-understanding and confidence, which can be helpful for issues like low motivation and self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical strategies and exercises to address patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, helping clients develop more effective coping techniques.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially useful for mood regulation and navigating difficult relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dana works with clients to identify their goals, preferences, and needs, and together they determine which methods or combination of methods will best support progress. This collaborative stance helps tailor therapy to each person's circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity through changes, and choose the form of communication that feels most comfortable while working toward personal goals.
