How Dana’s Approaches Can Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and pace. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what’s said, and follows the client’s lead to set goals. This approach is useful when you need a supportive space to sort feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear exercises and simple tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. CBT is often chosen for issues like anxiety, low mood, and anger because it gives concrete steps to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dana will discuss goals, ask about what has helped before, and try techniques that fit the client’s needs and preferences. Together they adjust methods and pace as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in several formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you see facial cues and body language, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and text messaging lets you write out thoughts between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible for work, caregiving, or busy days.
