Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the individual's experience and personal strengths, offering a supportive space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them explore their values and goals. This approach is useful for people seeking a collaborative, empathetic process to work through life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and relationship difficulties.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors and developing practical skills to shift them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management by teaching concrete strategies to cope with symptoms and change daily habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change techniques to help regulate intense emotions and improve interpersonal effectiveness. It is often applied for mood instability, impulsivity, and challenges with emotional regulation. As a licensed professional, Sarah Bakura works collaboratively with clients to determine which approach or combination of approaches best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. Selecting a therapeutic method is part of the process and is adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.
