Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Heather Scarboro draws from client-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and EMDR to tailor care to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so that clients lead the pace and focus of treatment while the therapist offers support and feedback. DBT combines practical skills training for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions, relationship struggles, and compulsive behaviors. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that supports processing of distressing memories and symptoms when trauma is a central concern.Determining the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Heather works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, evaluate responses to different techniques, and adjust the plan over time so treatment aligns with the client’s preferences and progress.
