How Vanessa’s approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around their goals. It’s about clarifying priorities and building plans based on the person’s own values and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, treat depression, and change unhelpful habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These tools are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when conflicts keep repeating.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan based on how well the work fits the person's needs.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist during the matching step about practical needs and preferred ways to meet.
