How these approaches work for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. The goal is to build trust, help people name their priorities, and guide practical next steps for daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot patterns of thinking that make problems worse and then try different responses. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and many everyday struggles.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness exercises used alongside DBT help people stay present when feelings run high.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Wendy works with clients to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan if something is not helping. She aims to make treatment practical and relevant to each person’s life.
Confirm current session options before booking since session formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques for remote work so progress continues even when meeting virtually.
