How CBT, Client-Centered Work, and Mindfulness Translate Online

Dominique uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered conversation, and mindfulness practices that adapt well to remote sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Client-centered work centers the conversation on what matters most to the person and guides decisions from their own goals and values. Mindfulness practice teaches brief attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve calmness.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. The goal is to find concrete steps that can be practiced between sessions and that match your daily life and priorities.

Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video is not possible, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into busy days, and allow for different styles of work such as brief check-ins or longer weekly conversations.
