How Juan uses CBT, DBT, and client-centered methods online
Juan often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or depression and then try practical behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on specific problems, thought records, and small experiments to test new ways of responding.He also employs Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and impulsivity. DBT techniques teach concrete practices like distress tolerance and emotion regulation that fit into daily routines. Client-Centered Therapy provides time for the client to tell their story while the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most to the client.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Juan will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. This is an ongoing decision and can be adjusted as progress and circumstances change.
