Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dustin "Dakota" Ash
Dustin practices using Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing in ways that translate well to virtual settings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathic relationship and supports self-exploration and personal growth - it can be especially helpful for issues around identity, self-esteem, and relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve everyday coping. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people clarify their motivations and strengthen commitment to change, which can be useful when motivation or ambivalence is a barrier to progress.
Dustin works collaboratively with clients to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. He views the selection of methods as part of the therapeutic process and adjusts strategies as progress is made.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and greater access to care. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and they support continuity of care when life circumstances shift. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Dustin, use these formats to deliver thoughtful, evidence-informed care tailored to each person’s situation.
