Therapeutic approaches and online care
Janet Guthrie uses several complementary approaches to help clients address their concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship where the client's goals and experiences guide the work; this approach helps with issues related to self-esteem, relationship patterns, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, and many mood-related challenges. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) blends skill-building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which is useful for managing intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, and relationship difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Janet collaborates with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Janet is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access support from different locations and at various times. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care during life changes, and enable ongoing skill practice between sessions.
