How Lynnette Uses Practical Therapies Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. The therapist follows the client’s lead, helps reflect feelings, and supports clients in choosing goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviors; it works well for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which can help with intense emotions and relationship conflict.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback and shift focus as needs change so the work stays relevant and doable.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when schedules shift. Online work can make it easier to maintain regular check-ins and practice skills between meetings.
