Approaches you can expect and how they translate online

Client-centered work focuses on the person’s experience. The therapist listens with empathy and helps the client clarify goals and priorities, which can make sessions feel focused and collaborative. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect; it often uses homework and simple skill practice to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, which can be helpful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try out techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. This is a collaborative process that evolves as needs change.
