Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Darlene Wilken draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the client s perspective so that goals grow from the client s own values and priorities - it helps people who need a supportive space to explore identity, relationships, and life changes. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises - it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping skills. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress - it can be especially helpful for mood instability, anger, and relational difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Darlene works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time as progress and challenges emerge.
Online therapy with Darlene can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and daily responsibilities.
