Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the individual’s own goals and values guide the work. It is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and stress-related issues by teaching practical strategies to manage symptoms.
Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and recurring patterns influence current feelings and relationships. This approach can be useful for understanding deeper drivers of distress and for addressing long-standing interpersonal or emotional difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Dottin works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and licensed professionals and therapists can adapt approaches as the work evolves.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage caregiving responsibilities, or maintain access when in-person visits are difficult. These options support an accessible path to consistent therapeutic work.
