How CBT, DBT, and Client-Centered Work Online
Jesse uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems and to test practical alternatives. CBT sessions focus on short exercises, tracking patterns, and homework that helps people try new responses between meetings.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-style work teaches specific techniques for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Client-centered methods keep attention on the person’s goals and rhythm, with the therapist listening and reflecting to shape the plan together.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Jesse will discuss what matters most to the client, set clear short-term goals, and adjust methods based on progress and preference. That makes it easier to try things and change course when needed.
