How different approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what you say, and helps you find your own solutions; this approach is useful for people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk about relationships, grief, or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises and work between sessions to change unhelpful patterns, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers clear skills for coping with intense emotions and improving communication. It emphasizes practical tools for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness that clients can practice between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dana will help you choose and adapt methods based on your goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can combine listening, skills practice, and feedback to build something that fits your life.

Online therapy offers flexibility across formats. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, quick skill reminders, or keeping progress on track between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to try different ways of working until something clicks.
