Approaches used in virtual sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps clarify values and goals and supports decisions about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Confirm the current session formats before booking to know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a weeknight or lunch break, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It also supports using in-session tools like thought records, mindfulness exercises, and skills practice that translate into everyday routines.
