Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship that helps people explore their experiences and identify their own solutions. This approach is useful for anyone seeking greater self-understanding, improved self-esteem, or stronger personal insight.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps individuals identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping with trauma.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Tonga collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access therapy from home or other convenient locations. Licensed professionals can deliver the same core approaches remotely, tailoring pacing and techniques to each person's situation.
