How Stephanie’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and shaping sessions around what matters to the person. It prioritizes the client’s experiences and values, and it helps people feel heard while setting goals that make sense for their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework to try new coping skills between meetings, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving relationships. In online sessions DBT tools are practiced through role play, guided exercises, and step-by-step coaching to build emotional balance.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Stephanie will discuss goals and preferences and help choose approaches that fit the person’s needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can fit quick check-ins or shorter skill practice between scheduled appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work or caregiving demands.
