Background and approach
Techniques may include mindful breathing, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, and small behavior changes that build confidence. Liby blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered principles to keep the focus on what matters most to the individual.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to notice and shift thinking that fuels anxiety or low mood. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when intense emotions or relationship patterns cause repeated problems. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help with stress, cravings, and staying grounded during life changes.
Existential ideas can help people clarify values and life purpose during midlife or major transitions. With four years of experience, Liby supports people through both practical steps and reflective work. She offers multiple online session formats to suit different routines and learning styles.
Her approach aims to empower people to take changes one step at a time.
How these approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the person's lead. This approach helps people feel heard and figure out which goals matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions; online sessions often focus on practical tools to change thinking patterns and try different behaviors between meetings.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving interactions with others. In remote work this can mean learning grounding exercises, emotion regulation skills, and step-by-step tactics for handling conflict or urges. These methods are useful for stress, mood concerns, addiction issues, and relationship difficulties that the therapist lists as specialties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining client-centered listening with CBT homework or DBT skills practice, and adjusting the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone calls are a good low-bandwidth option, chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing, and text messaging supports brief ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for work, parenting, or busy schedules.
