Therapeutic approaches and online care
Geraldine commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside a client-centered stance. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress and to improve coping skills. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, anger and relationship difficulties. Client-centered therapy centers on the client's perspective and strengths, creating a collaborative space to explore values, life transitions and self-esteem concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Geraldine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques from these approaches to match what is most useful for the individual.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility, making it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, caregiving and other responsibilities. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to teach and practice skills in real time, offer coaching between sessions and support steady progress without requiring travel.
