Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and meeting each person where they are; it helps individuals explore feelings, set personal goals, and regain a sense of direction during life transitions, grief, or relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical strategies to change those patterns - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and developing coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can benefit people managing intense emotions, mood challenges, or relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Karlene works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress and circumstances evolve. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in treatment decisions.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Karlene, can provide consistent therapeutic support across locations and life stages, helping clients maintain continuity of care while accommodating practical constraints.
