Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and tailoring sessions to what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk and make their own choices about change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It involves trying small experiments and practicing new thinking patterns to reduce anxiety, depression, panic, and unhelpful habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling tough interpersonal moments. Those skills can help with mood ups and downs, anger, and impulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esther will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. She may mix approaches and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practicing techniques together, while phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text messaging make short updates, reminders, and brief coaching possible between sessions. These formats offer flexibility so therapy can fit work, school, or caregiving schedules.
