Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Janice Doan draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to structure her work with clients. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and helps people explore values and goals while building self-trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and panic. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) combines skill-building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense mood or relationship challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janice works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts methods over time so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work. Video calls and phone sessions allow real-time conversations similar to in-person meetings, while live chat and text-based messaging provide additional flexibility for check-ins and skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists when scheduling, travel, or other obligations make traditional appointments difficult, and they support continuity of care across life changes.
