Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Stephanie Dobbs uses several well-established approaches to help people make meaningful change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the client’s own goals so individuals feel heard and empowered to take steps that match their values and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - it is especially useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related concerns by teaching practical coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that explores a person’s readiness to change and strengthens internal motivation for challenges like substance use or lifestyle shifts.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stephanie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work on goals from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
