Integrating Client-Centered, CBT, and DBT in Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals guide the work. It emphasizes active listening and unconditional positive regard to help people explore identity, build self-esteem, and navigate life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially useful for people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or patterns of impulsive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katrina collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility and greater access to care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity across life changes, and practice skills between sessions with support from a licensed professional.
