How Client-Centered and CBT Translate to Online Therapy

Michelle LeClear-Dozier integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and collaboration, allowing clients to set the pace and explore personal goals while the therapist provides acceptance and support - it is often useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and adjustment to life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and learning concrete skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and stress. It is practical and goal-oriented, helping clients develop coping strategies they can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She tailors care based on each person's concerns and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to continue care when in-person sessions are not possible. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same core therapeutic work, helping clients apply skills and make progress from wherever they are located.
