Blending Client-Centered Care and CBT for Online Support
Joanne Milito draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes listening, understanding, and supporting each person’s own goals, which can help with issues like self-esteem, grief, and identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building - a useful method for addressing anxiety, panic, and depression.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanne works with clients to clarify their needs, preferences, and goals, and together they determine whether client-centered work, CBT, or a blend of both will best support progress.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from home or while balancing caregiving, work, and other responsibilities, making it easier to maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals.
