Approaches Lenita Uses in Online Therapy
Lenita often draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, empathetic environment where the client leads the pace and content of sessions. This approach supports self-exploration, stronger self-understanding, and growth around life transitions and relationship concerns.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT provides practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety and depression and for developing more effective coping strategies.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another approach Lenita may integrate when clients need skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT emphasizes concrete skills that can reduce overwhelming reactions and improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together - Lenita collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors care so that therapy feels relevant and doable for each client.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These remote options make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment, fit sessions into daily life, and access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location.
