Using methods like client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing, she partners with clients to identify practical strategies and new ways of coping.

Dr. Siegert-Horgeshimer aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experiences and goals guide the work. It helps people who want to explore feelings, clarify values, and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-based approach that identifies unhelpful thought patterns and builds practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors. It is useful for stress, phobias, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies and emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - helpful for intense emotions, self-destructive urges, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Siegert-Horgeshimer collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors methods so therapy feels like a shared effort rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription. This collaborative stance helps determine whether CBT, DBT, client-centered work, or a mix is the best fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit work schedules, travel, or differing comfort levels with communication. These options make it easier for people in Minnesota and beyond to maintain continuity of care and access licensed professionals from varied locations.
