How Randy Uses Talk Therapy Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and helps people sort out their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and behavior; it teaches simple skills to test and change unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical coping skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Randy collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. He checks in on what is and isn't helping, and adjusts the plan as progress happens.
