How Cathy’s approaches translate to online work
Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so people can explore what matters most. It helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental place to talk through decisions and feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be useful for impulsivity, anger, relationship conflicts, and coping with intense emotions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, current struggles, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Sessions can adapt over time as needs change, combining listening, skills practice, and short experiments to make progress.
