Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s experience and values, with the therapist offering empathy and support while the client leads the pace and focus of sessions; this approach helps when people need a trusting space to explore feelings and clarify personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, providing practical tools for reducing anxiety, managing mood symptoms, and addressing panic or phobic responses.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, anger management, and relational difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. Ivan and other licensed professionals work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailor techniques from these approaches to fit each person’s situation.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with treatment through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from a licensed therapist when in-person visits are not possible.
