Approaches that guide online therapy and support
Yiasha Smith uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the goals and pace of work; this approach helps with life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship concerns by centering the person’s own strengths and priorities. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve daily functioning. In addition, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is used to teach practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for managing intense emotions and impulsivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Yiasha collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process ensures that therapy is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy with Yiasha is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. These options make it easier for clients to access consistent support and to choose the communication style that works best for their life.
