Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options



Toni Willis draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, empathetic environment where the client’s goals and strengths guide the work. This approach is especially helpful for issues related to self-esteem, relationship concerns, and finding direction during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. The licensed professional will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and to adjust techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure that techniques feel relevant and practical.

Online therapy delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility and accessibility to this work. These options allow clients to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life changes, and access support from different locations while working with a licensed therapist who tailors methods to their needs.
