Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Walker integrates client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address a wide range of concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and a nonjudgmental relationship - it helps people explore their values, identity, and relationships while feeling heard and respected. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors - it is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and unhelpful patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it is useful when strong emotions or impulsive reactions make everyday life more difficult.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Dr. Walker works with each person to identify goals, consider preferences, and adjust methods as therapy progresses so the plan fits the client’s needs and life circumstances.
Online therapy offers flexibility for scheduling and access - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to receive support from a licensed professional across different time zones, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.
