Approaches in Online Therapy with Client-Centered, CBT, and DBT
Yvonne frequently blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to meet each person where they are. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-discovery; it is useful for building trust and working through grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, patterns of self-destructive behavior, or difficulties managing stress.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This means approaches may be adjusted over time as progress is made and priorities change.
Online therapy provides flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily life. These options support consistent access to care and allow therapy to continue even when attending in-person appointments is difficult.
