How Kaniecia’s approaches fit into online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting your goals. The therapist mirrors your priorities, helps you name what matters, and works alongside you to set achievable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and coping. It uses practical exercises and homework to change patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships through step-by-step training.Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the focus as you learn what helps most in your daily life.
