Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Betty Lustig uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can explore concerns at their own pace and build self-awareness; it is especially helpful for relationship issues, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, anger, and stress-related problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Betty works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques over time so treatment aligns with what is most helpful and realistic for the individual.

Online therapy with Betty can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different lifestyles and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular care around work, family, or mobility constraints, and they support consistent progress by fitting therapy into the client’s daily routine.
