Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training and practical strategies to help people manage intense emotions, reduce self-harm and improve relationships. It is particularly useful for emotional regulation, impulsive behaviours and complex trauma-related difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and patterns to change mood and behaviour; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression and many everyday stressors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening and collaboration, creating a space where clients explore their values and choices at their own pace and build self-directed solutions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Judith collaborates with each person to consider goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, adapting methods so therapy aligns with individual needs. This collaborative process helps determine the best combination of techniques over time.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family or geographic constraints. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent care, make scheduling easier and provide ongoing support in ways that fit a client’s daily life.
