Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lanette commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship and supporting clients to explore their own goals and values. This approach helps people who need validation, stronger self-understanding, and a compassionate space to process emotions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches skills for changing those patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another approach she integrates when appropriate; DBT teaches concrete skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can benefit those struggling with intense emotions or relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lanette works with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage in therapy from different locations and at varied times. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to provide consistent therapeutic support while accommodating clients' schedules and communication preferences.
