Using CBT, DBT, and client-centered work online

CBT focuses on testing small changes and tracking what works for everyday situations. Client-centered work means conversations that follow the client’s priorities, giving space to describe concerns and set practical goals together.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. Those DBT skills teach concrete steps for managing intensity and improving relationships. The therapist will discuss which of these approaches fits best based on your needs, goals, and preferences; finding the right fit is a collaborative process rather than a single decision.
