How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person’s own goals, helping them name what matters and make choices that fit their life. This approach often helps with stress, self-esteem, and life transitions by keeping the person’s values at the center.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and work or career-related stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. Those skills can be helpful for people experiencing strong emotional swings or relationship-related difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, needs, and preferences and help decide which combination of methods fits best. This is a collaborative process that may change as progress is made.
