Online Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s own experience, offering a nonjudgmental collaborative space where the client’s priorities guide the work. This approach is useful for building self-understanding, strengthening self-esteem, and navigating life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is practical and skills-oriented, often used for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping techniques.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends acceptance and change strategies and emphasizes skills like emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially helpful for intense emotions, anger management, and improving communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time as progress unfolds.
