Approaches and Online Care with a Client-Centered Focus
Laura blends client-centered therapy with evidence-informed skills training to meet people where they are. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration - the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what matters most, and supports personal insight and growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depressive moods, and sleep disruption by changing unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be helpful for intense emotions, anger, and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Laura collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. Licensed professionals often combine elements from different approaches to create a personalized plan.
Online sessions make that collaborative work more accessible. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels, allowing people to engage in therapy from home or on the go while maintaining continuity of care and practical support.
