Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s perspective and building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship. It helps when someone needs a space to explore feelings, identity, or relationship concerns while feeling heard and respected.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that contribute to ongoing difficulties by teaching concrete skills for change.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness skills that help reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These techniques can be useful for stress, grief, and managing urges related to addictions or compulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tricia Betters-Black works with clients and licensed professionals to identify which techniques and goals fit best based on individual needs, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access regular support without travel. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care across locations, and make it simpler to integrate therapy into daily life.
