Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Client-centered therapy is about listening and building a plan around the person's own goals. It helps when someone needs an approach focused on their preferences and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical techniques for reducing anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people who struggle with intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit best. Goals, daily life demands, and what feels useful will guide which techniques are used in sessions.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people use tools and exercises during a session in the moment. Licensed professionals adapt methods like CBT and DBT for remote work, focusing on skills practice, tracking progress, and setting actionable steps that fit into everyday life.
