How her approaches fit online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions using this approach start with the person's concerns and build goals together, which is useful for relationship worries, self-esteem, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. In an online session CBT can involve reviewing thought patterns, setting small behavioral experiments, and assigning short exercises between meetings to track progress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Online DBT work often includes skill coaching, practicing emotion regulation strategies, and using short check-ins to reinforce new habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then suggest methods to try. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to the person's needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy schedule or work better with limited bandwidth, live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work and family commitments.
