Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Allen integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal growth; it is helpful for building self-esteem and exploring values. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT combines skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage strong emotions and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Allen works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors the combination of methods that best supports progress. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and make consistent care more accessible. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from home or another convenient location, support timely check-ins between sessions, and make it easier to maintain momentum toward therapeutic goals.
