How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps create a space where people can talk through feelings and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
