Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Margaret Doman uses evidence-informed methods to support change and coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for managing intense feelings, anger, and relationship challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that helps clients explore their values, build self-esteem, and find personally meaningful solutions to life difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Margaret collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and tailors techniques accordingly so that therapy feels relevant and achievable. This collaborative stance helps clients take ownership of progress and adapt strategies as circumstances change.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These flexible formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions around daily life, and receive consistent support when navigating recovery, relationships, parenting, or major life transitions.
