Approaches That Guide Online Counseling
Joia frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to structure her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective, offering empathy and support to help individuals explore feelings and make choices that align with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical, skills-based method that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
She also incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joia collaborates with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps create tailored care rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for working with Joia, including the ability to meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to support clients through life changes and everyday challenges.
