Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and supporting the person's own goals. It focuses on understanding concerns from the client’s perspective and building a respectful working relationship, which can help with family stress, grief, and self-esteem issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical strategies to test unhelpful thinking and develop different coping behaviors, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships and communication are strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.
Rebecca’s original profile mentioned phone and text session options by request. Confirm the current session formats before you book so you know what will be offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options that do not require being on camera for every session.
