Therapeutic Approaches Offered Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and respect for each person's unique perspective. In this approach the therapist creates a supportive space where the client guides the pace and focus of work, which is helpful for life transitions, self-exploration, and building self-esteem.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical tools to change them. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching strategies for coping and problem solving.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for regulating intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. It can be useful for people who experience strong emotional reactivity or ongoing relationship challenges.
