Approaches That Guide Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathic space where the therapist follows the client's lead to explore values, identity, and personal goals. This approach is helpful for people seeking greater self-understanding, improved self-esteem, and stronger relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and practical problem-solving around daily challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. It can be useful for people struggling with mood instability, strong emotional reactions, and relationship conflicts.
