How Saskia’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding where a person is now. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on empathic listening, setting goals, and pacing work to each person's comfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find small, practical changes that improve daily life; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when strong emotions get in the way.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan over time. That means trying techniques together, checking what helps, and shifting methods if something isn’t working as hoped.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins may work on a work break, or phone-based sessions can reduce bandwidth needs. Licensed professionals can guide how to use therapy tools between meetings so skills transfer into everyday routines.
