Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and perspectives, with the therapist offering empathy and support to help the client clarify values and choices. It is helpful for building self-understanding, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday coping challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It can be especially useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing harmful coping behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cathryn Ahanonu collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made to ensure the approach remains helpful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility to connect from home or another convenient place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or other commitments and allow ongoing access to support even when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver structured therapy, skills coaching, and regular check-ins that support meaningful change over time.
