Approaches and Online Support Tailored to Needs

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the person’s own goals and perspectives guide the work; it helps when someone needs a collaborative space to explore feelings, values, and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear, structured tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it a good fit for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and impulsivity.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Nicole Lewandowski works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a tailored plan that can evolve over time.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce barriers related to travel, and offer flexible ways to connect. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to deliver effective, goal-oriented care that suits different schedules and communication styles.
