Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic environment in which the therapist follows the client's lead to explore concerns and values; it is useful for people seeking a collaborative space to process identity, relationship, or life transition issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, and it is often effective for anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills - tools that can help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kery Silva works collaboratively with individuals to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. That partnership helps tailor sessions so techniques are relevant and practical for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while still focusing on meaningful progress and practical support.
