Approaches for online therapy and collaborative care
Client-Centered Therapy places the person and their priorities at the center of care. It emphasizes active listening, empathy, and supporting clients to explore their values and goals - useful for building self-esteem, coping with life changes, and strengthening relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change behavior and emotional responses. It is often helpful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving around daily challenges.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift emotional responses within relationships by fostering secure emotional connection and clearer communication. It can be effective for couples work, attachment concerns, and rebuilding trust.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Diane works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her approach as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals. Sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into daily life, access support from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each person.
