How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Chrissy blends client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy tools. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person’s perspective, and letting their priorities guide the plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling interpersonal conflict.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and daily life, then recommend routes to try. Sessions may combine conversation, skill practice, and coaching so the client can see what fits and adjust plans together.
This profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets licensed professionals share worksheets, guided practices, and exercises that clients can use between meetings to reinforce progress.
