How his approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's concerns. In practice this means the therapist prioritizes what the client wants to work on and adapts pace and focus to their needs, which helps with relationship issues, life transitions, and questions about purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep issues through practical exercises and between-session tasks.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and impulsive actions. These tools can help with anger, impulsivity, and improving emotional regulation in stressful situations.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and tailor methods as therapy progresses. Clients and the therapist check in on what is working and adjust strategies together.
