Therapeutic approaches used in online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach helps people clarify values, build self-awareness, and strengthen confidence while deciding which changes matter most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or stress. It is goal-focused and useful for clients seeking concrete strategies.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact. It can be helpful for people working through past traumatic experiences who are ready to address those memories directly.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dana works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and she blends or adapts techniques so the therapeutic plan fits each individual. Clients are invited to give feedback and help shape what works best for them.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage caregiving or work commitments, and maintain continuity of care from different locations. Licensed professionals can provide effective, supportive treatment through these formats while tailoring the pace and style to each client’s needs.
