Therapeutic approaches used in online care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating a supportive space where the therapist follows the individual's lead to explore goals and values. This approach helps people feel heard and respected while working through life transitions, relationship concerns, or self-esteem issues.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It offers practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders by teaching skills for problem solving and stress reduction.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) integrates skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is often helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and difficulties with coping under stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice Doan collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.
