Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Helen Woods integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and collaborating with the client to build a safe therapeutic relationship that supports self-exploration and personal growth. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing reactive behaviors, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for people experiencing mood instability or difficulty with emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Helen works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the mix of strategies over time so sessions remain responsive and relevant to each person's progress.

Online therapy with Helen is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and fit therapy into busy routines while working toward meaningful change.
