How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist reflects what matters to the person and helps them identify their own strengths and goals. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of change.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through practical techniques like grounding and emotion regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That process often begins with listening, trying one approach, and adjusting over time.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or a quiet hour at home more easily.
