Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Joy Hart integrates several evidence-based approaches into her work and adapts them to online formats to meet each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and unconditional acceptance, helping clients feel understood while they explore personal goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for depression, anxiety, and many day-to-day challenges by teaching concrete coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense mood states and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joy partners with clients to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses so the work stays aligned with what the client finds most helpful.
Online therapy with Joy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and maintain regular support without travel, while still working with a licensed professional trained in these therapeutic methods.
