Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Laura Husband integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for each person’s pace and perspective - it helps clients explore values, strengthen self-understanding, and build a trusting therapeutic bond. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. DBT combines skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to support people managing intense emotions and relationship difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work; Laura collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure treatment feels relevant and workable for each person.
Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - provide flexibility for scheduling and access from home or other convenient locations. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches effectively to virtual formats, allowing clients to receive consistent support while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
