Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the individual’s perspective, creating a supportive space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them explore values, strengths, and goals; this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, navigating life changes, and addressing relationship or family concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building; it is often used for anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, and coping strategies for day-to-day stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills, which can be especially useful for managing intense emotions, anger, and patterns that contribute to relationship difficulties or self-destructive behaviors.

Finding the right blend of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Virgen collaborates with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and challenges emerge.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and to receive support from home or elsewhere. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session formats, and access licensed professionals in a way that aligns with each client’s routines and comfort levels.
