Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s own goals and experiences, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to build insight and self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical strategies to shift unhelpful habits - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies, teaching skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and effective interpersonal communication, which can help with intense emotions and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laurie will work with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time to ensure a good therapeutic match. Clients participate in shaping the work and choosing strategies that feel most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and access support from home or elsewhere. These formats provide accessible ways for licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent care and practical tools for day-to-day challenges.
