Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting clients to lead the direction of their own growth - it helps people who need a trusting, accepting space to explore feelings and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing practical strategies to change unhelpful behaviors - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps clients resolve uncertainty about change by exploring personal motivations and strengthening commitment to goals - it is useful when someone is ambivalent about making a change.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Dawoon collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress is made. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access care from home or work. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and offer different ways to communicate depending on what feels most comfortable for each client.
