Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care
Debra Bryant draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to support online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting the person where they are, offering empathy and respectful listening to help clients explore feelings, clarify values, and find their own solutions. It is well suited to relationship concerns, life transitions, and issues around self-worth.CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often helpful for mood disorders, anxiety, panic symptoms, and coping with chronic illness by teaching skills for managing symptoms and changing day-to-day responses.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative part of the process. Debra will work with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit care into a busy life and to access support from home. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing clients to engage in the ways that feel most comfortable and effective for their situation.
