How Diane’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and experience. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what’s said, and helps the person decide what to work on next. It suits people who want a supportive space to clarify values and goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Diane uses straightforward exercises to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice alternative responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem because it targets everyday thinking and routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Diane will discuss options and help choose techniques that match each person’s needs and preferences. This collaborative process lets goals and methods evolve as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Sessions can be video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions if video isn’t convenient, live chat for shorter check-ins, or text-based messaging for ongoing support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, lower travel time, and allow different modes for different moments.
