Approaches and Online Care with Nikita Williams
Nikita integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet clients where they are. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, non-judgmental space in which the client’s goals and experiences guide the work - this approach is helpful for building trust, exploring identity, and improving self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies and teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nikita will assess a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and work together to tailor techniques and priorities over time, adjusting the plan as progress and circumstances evolve. Licensed professionals often combine methods to best support each person.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, provide access across locations, and allow clients to choose formats that feel most comfortable for sharing and practicing new skills.
