Approaches for Online Therapy and How They Help
Tandi commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a collaborative, respectful relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients identify their own goals and solutions. This approach supports people who want a strengths-based, empathetic process for exploring life changes and decisions.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps clients recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges because it focuses on skills and measurable progress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another tool in her work, offering concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be particularly helpful for managing intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and patterns that interfere with a person’s goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tandi works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what is helping.
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 sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and connect with licensed professionals from wherever clients are located within the therapist’s service area.
