Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Skip Dettman, LCSW, draws from several well-established therapy methods that can translate effectively to online care. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore emotions, values, and goals while building greater self-understanding and confidence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors that may be contributing to stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship strain. Together, therapist and client work on practical skills for reframing unhelpful thinking and strengthening coping strategies in everyday life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building healthier communication, which can be especially helpful during life transitions or when emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Skip works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy unfolds.
