Approaches and Online Support for Families and Individuals

She also incorporates motivational interviewing, a collaborative, goal-oriented method that strengthens a person’s motivation to make positive changes; this approach can be especially useful for addressing ambivalence around behavior change and building intrinsic motivation. Additionally, her client-centered stance emphasizes empathy, respect, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship that supports growth and self-exploration.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Cabuhat works collaboratively with each person and family to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals and therapists through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain consistency during life transitions, and access care from home or other convenient locations, while preserving the therapeutic relationship and focus on real-world skill-building.
