Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Dina integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them clarify values and goals - this approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is practical for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress by teaching evidence-based strategies to manage symptoms.
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, which teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness techniques that can be practiced between sessions to reduce crisis moments and improve daily functioning. Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process - Dina works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than relying on a single model.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice therapeutic skills in real-world contexts while staying connected with a therapist.
