How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Donna commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered methods focus on the client’s goals and priorities, with the therapist following the person’s lead and helping clarify what matters. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them.She also integrates dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT skills include short, actionable tools for calming intense feelings, improving relationships, and tolerating pressure without making things worse.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. That means sessions can shift over time from problem-solving to skill practice as needed.
