Approaches that guide online sessions
Tavina blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral methods to help people manage current problems. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's story so goals feel personal and clear. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete skills to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when intense emotions or impulsive reactions get in the way. DBT techniques teach practical tools for tolerating distress, regulating emotions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Together these approaches aim to provide both understanding and usable strategies for everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tavina collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and manageable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone calls are handy when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
