Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Diana Hartwig
Diana commonly integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness therapy into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own values and goals guide the work and where the therapist supports growth through empathy and collaboration. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and awareness practices that can reduce reactivity to difficult emotions and support present-moment coping for stress, grief, and chronic worry.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Diana works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy with Diana is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or health limitations, and allow ongoing support to continue even when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to deliver evidence-informed care and work toward meaningful change.
