Therapy Approaches That Translate Well Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive space where clients can talk openly, clarify what matters most, and move at a pace that feels manageable. It can be especially helpful when someone is coping with life changes, grief, stress, or feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to begin.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. It helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and experiment with new ways of responding, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and everyday stressors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skill-building for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It often supports people who want more steadiness and healthier ways to cope when emotions feel hard to regulate.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Cathi Brisart works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the approach as needs evolve.
