Approaches That Guide Online Therapy
Kanani Baker uses client-centered therapy to place the person's experience at the core of the work, offering empathy and reflection to help people feel understood and to identify what matters most to them. This approach supports issues like self-esteem, grief, and life direction by creating a collaborative, respectful space for exploration.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or depression, and to develop practical skills for managing symptoms and problem solving. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques are used when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities, offering concrete tools for distress tolerance and improved communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kanani works together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to create an individualized plan that evolves over time.
