Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dominique Decoster integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client leads the pace and goals of treatment - it is useful when someone needs support exploring feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it effective for issues like anxiety, mood challenges, and habit change. Dialectical behavior therapy combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to support people who experience intense emotions or relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dominique Decoster works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques from these models to create a personalized plan that fits each person’s situation.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to receive care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other responsibilities, and they allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible or convenient.
