Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client leads conversation and meaning-making; it helps with relationship concerns, identity exploration, and building self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and can be effective for mood disorders, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress management techniques that support emotional regulation and resilience in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Dr. Lutz works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time as priorities and circumstances change.
Online therapy with licensed professionals can increase flexibility and access to care, allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, continue care during life transitions, and maintain regular contact with a therapist when in-person visits are difficult.
