Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Kelly Gould draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and partnership, helping clients clarify values and goals while feeling heard and respected. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. DBT teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Kelly collaborates with each client to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time to find the most helpful combination.
Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and engage with licensed professionals from different locations, all while allowing therapists to use interactive techniques and tailored strategies to support progress.
