How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own answers. In online sessions that means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps identify strengths to build on.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. In virtual sessions Stefanie would work with clients to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behaviors between meetings to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing big emotions and improving relationships. Online work can include practicing mindfulness exercises, emotion-regulation techniques, and safe ways to try new interpersonal strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as skills are learned and goals shift.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Others prefer a shorter check-in when energy is low or a full session when they want more time to work through a problem. Licensed professionals can tailor session pacing and homework to what works in everyday life.
