How Diane’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered work focuses on understanding each person’s experience and responding with empathy and respect. It helps when someone needs a safe, listening space to sort out feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors for clearer mood and better functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It can be useful for people who want better emotional regulation and more stable interactions with others.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Diane will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt methods to fit what they need. The plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when helpful. If you want to know which session formats are offered, please confirm the current options before booking so you can pick what best fits your routine.
