Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person's experience and following their lead, which can help people feel understood and clarify what they most want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication in stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on current concerns, goals, and preferences. This can mean trying one method for a few sessions and adjusting as needed so the work stays practical and goal-focused.
