Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the person’s own capacity for growth. This approach is well suited for people working through life transitions, self-esteem concerns, or relationship challenges because it focuses on understanding and empowerment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and many coping problems where learning specific skills can reduce distress and improve functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating intense emotions, managing impulses, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially helpful for people who struggle with strong emotional reactions, impulsivity, or patterns that strain relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cathy will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and life circumstances to determine which methods or combination of methods fit best, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to maintain continuity of care from home or another convenient location. Licensed professionals can deliver evidence-informed techniques through these formats, helping people access support in ways that fit their daily life.
