Approaches and online therapy with Destini Haggen

Destini uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client s goals guide the work. This approach focuses on understanding each person s perspective and building on their existing strengths to address difficulties such as stress, relationship concerns, or changes related to identity.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors. CBT emphasizes clear strategies and homework-style activities that translate well to remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Destini collaborates with each client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting techniques over time to ensure the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and continuity of care. These options make it easier to maintain consistent appointments, access support from different locations, and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
