Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Barbara Popa
Barbara Popa draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the client's perspective, offering empathy and support while helping people find their own solutions - it is often helpful for improving self-esteem, communication, and motivation. CBT emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors and moods, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Barbara also integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when emotional regulation and impulsivity are primary concerns. DBT combines skills training in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to help clients manage intense feelings and improve relationships.
