Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Pamela integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in online sessions. Client-centered therapy centers the client's own goals and lived experience, offering a nonjudgmental space to explore feelings and values and to strengthen self-compassion and self-direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related struggles.She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy when clients need tools for emotional regulation and coping with intense emotions - DBT skills can be especially helpful for managing relationship turbulence, self-soothing, and improving tolerance of distress. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Pamela works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Pamela is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without sacrificing the quality of care.
