Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients are encouraged to explore their feelings and values. This approach helps people build self-awareness and make choices that align with their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based method that identifies patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches concrete strategies to change them, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cynthia Barrett works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify techniques and goals that fit each person’s needs, preferences, and life circumstances. She adjusts the plan as work progresses so therapy remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and continue work between sessions. Barrett tailors modalities to what best supports each client’s goals and availability.
