Online support options
How online approaches and sessions fit together
Client-centered therapy is about focusing on the person's goals and strengths. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people choose the changes they want to make. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small, practical steps that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Cassandra will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches that match those needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process lets people test what helps and drop what does not.
Online sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls help with visual connection and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can work for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when a shorter touchpoint is helpful. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, school, or caregiving.
