Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Brenda Drake draws from approaches that can be practical and engaging in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can explore feelings, identity, and life experiences at their own pace, which can be especially helpful when working through stress, grief, and personal growth goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. It helps clients practice new ways of responding to anxiety, depression, anger, and everyday stressors by building skills that can be used between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. It can be a good fit for clients who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or are working on healthier coping patterns and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Brenda collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped in the past, and choose methods that match preferences and current needs, while staying flexible as therapy progresses.
Online therapy also makes support easier to fit into real life. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging for added flexibility and continuity between appointments.
