Client-Centered and DBT Approaches for Online Care

Catherine uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive environment where the individual’s perspective guides the work. This approach relies on active listening, empathy, and respect to help people explore their values, build self-esteem, and navigate life changes or relationship concerns. It is especially helpful for those seeking validation and a collaborative space to find their own solutions.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-based work can assist people managing intense emotions, impulsivity, or patterns of self-destructive behavior, and it pairs well with a client-centered stance that honors each person’s experience.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Catherine works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility to engage in sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy lives and maintain continuity when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals can deliver effective, skills-based work in these formats, supporting progress through regular contact and adaptable session types.
