How Diane’s Approaches Work Online

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. In online sessions this often means setting clear, short-term goals and practicing exercises between meetings to see what helps.

Client-centered work emphasizes listening and support. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them make sense of feelings and choices. This approach helps people feel heard and encourages clearer decision making.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what the person prefers and what is effective. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills-based CBT, supportive client-centered work, mindfulness practices, or a mix.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while keeping sessions focused on concrete progress.
