Approaches That Guide Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers support and reflection. This approach is helpful for building self-understanding, improving self-esteem, and navigating life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learn practical skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, mood regulation, and coping with stressful situations.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially useful for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive or self-harming behaviors.
