Approach-Based Online Therapy with Jill Dutra
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person’s experience from their perspective and creating a supportive environment where personal strengths and values guide growth. This approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating life changes by centering the client’s priorities.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or mood challenges, and on developing practical skills to change those patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with difficult emotions.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps toward the future clients want, highlighting resources and past successes to build momentum. It can be especially helpful for folks seeking concrete strategies and faster-paced progress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jill works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client review options and adapt the plan as progress unfolds.
