Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Roxane Pakit draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can work effectively in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, respectful space where clients can clarify what matters most to them, strengthen self-awareness, and move toward goals at a pace that feels manageable.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented approach that helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and experiment with new ways of responding. It is often used when stress, anxiety, depression, or everyday coping feels overwhelming. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can be especially helpful when emotions feel intense or relationships feel reactive.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Roxane works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors sessions to what is most useful in the moment while keeping long-term progress in view.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a way that fits their schedule and comfort level.
