Approach and online therapy options
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so the person feels heard and respected. It helps when someone wants a supportive space to talk, sort priorities, and decide what changes matter most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It can be useful for people who want structure around emotion regulation and better communication.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than using one fixed style. This means trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting over time.
If you prefer to meet online, please confirm the session formats before booking so arrangements match your needs. Online sessions can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit work or caregiving routines more smoothly. They also allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a person’s week. Ask about available options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can pick what fits your life.
