Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care
Michelle Coffey draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and helps clients clarify their own goals and values - this approach is useful for building self-understanding and addressing relationship or self-esteem concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning by teaching practical skills and structured exercises.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. These skills can be especially helpful for people struggling with strong emotional reactions, impulsivity, or ongoing relationship stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan over time.
Online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling, access from different locations, and multiple ways to engage with therapy between meetings. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to choose the format that best supports each person’s progress.
