How his approaches work with online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience and priorities. It helps people feel heard and supports working toward goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, combines skill-building for emotions and distress tolerance with a focus on balancing acceptance and change, useful for strong emotions and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that match those needs. Clients and therapist adjust the plan as they go, mixing skills from different approaches when helpful.
