Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Kaitlyn Baker incorporates client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where each person’s experience guides the pace and focus of work. This approach helps clients feel heard and respected while exploring values, goals, and personal strengths.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. CBT is useful for managing stress, changing repetitive negative thoughts, and developing coping strategies for everyday challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT is employed to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be helpful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and improving communication in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kaitlyn works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailors methods that fit the individual. Together they monitor progress and adjust strategies as needed.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations and to choose the format that best supports their comfort and life demands.
