How her approaches guide online therapy choices
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and in charge of their goals. It helps when someone needs support to make decisions or process strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps reduce the intensity of distressing memories and the feelings tied to them.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Dustie will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest what to try first. Together they can adjust the plan over time if something isn’t working or if priorities change.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling brief check-ins during a lunch break or reducing travel time. Some methods lend themselves to focused skill practice and homework, which can be done between sessions. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking to ensure they fit your routine.
