Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Life
Destinee works from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to address emotional and behavioral concerns in an online format. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and helping clients draw on their own strengths to set meaningful goals - it is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life adjustments. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and co-occurring difficulties.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Destinee tailors methods to each person's needs, goals, and preferences and works together with clients to decide which techniques will be most helpful. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy fits both the concern and the individual.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to work with licensed professionals from locations that suit them and on schedules that accommodate busy lives. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice new skills between sessions.
