How Lynn’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience. In practice this means sessions start with listening and reflecting back what matters to the client, then shaping the work around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes; it often involves home practice and clear homework between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that can be demonstrated and practiced during sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lynn will review what feels most useful and adapt methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together, and methods can shift as progress is reviewed.
