Therapeutic approaches and online care with a licensed social worker

Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding the person’s perspective and creating a supportive environment where goals and decisions come from the client. This approach helps people feel heard and fosters personal growth by building on their strengths and values.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used to address anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and problem-solving around life transitions.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies with practical skills training for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work between client and therapist. Mindy Battles will discuss what feels most relevant and practical based on each person’s concerns, goals, and preferences, and adapt methods over time to find the best fit.

Online therapy with this practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around schedules, mobility, and caregiving responsibilities. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations while maintaining continuity of care and tailoring session formats to individual needs.
