Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Care
Kerline frequently draws on client-centered therapy, which places the person seeking help at the center of the process and emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration - an approach that can help with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and adjusting to life changes. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Additionally, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is part of her toolkit for teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Kerline works with clients and licensed professionals to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor techniques that fit each person's situation. She encourages open discussion about what methods feel most helpful and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and access support from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt methods to virtual formats.
