How therapy approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following your priorities. The therapist reflects what matters to you and helps shape goals that feel relevant and doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kari will work with each person to choose which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm current online session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools and worksheets between sessions. These practical benefits can help people stay consistent while they learn new skills and work toward their goals.
