Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care

Kanani Baker, LMSW, draws from approaches that can be especially practical in an online therapy setting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the client sets the pace and priorities, which can be helpful when navigating grief, depression, or major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new ways of responding. It can be useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, and self-esteem by helping clients build skills they can practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which many people find helpful when emotions feel intense or hard to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kanani collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not worked before, and choose strategies that fit their needs and preferences.

Online therapy can make support easier to access and fit into daily life. Clients can meet with Kanani through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options for different schedules, comfort levels, and communication styles.
