Therapeutic Approaches and Virtual Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's own goals and experiences, with the therapist offering empathy, respect, and support to help individuals explore feelings and find their own solutions. It is often helpful for people seeking a compassionate, non-directive approach to self-exploration and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and develop strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. CBT is often used when clients want concrete tools to change thinking and behavior.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills. It can be especially useful for individuals managing intense emotions, relationship difficulties, or patterns of impulsive behavior.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sherita will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods or combination of methods are the best fit for the work ahead.
