How Bethany's Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist offers empathy and respect while helping clients name their goals and priorities. This approach is useful when someone needs space to be heard and clear guidance on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. Sessions often include straightforward tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress in daily life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. Short practical exercises and skill practice are common, and these tools can help with intense emotions or relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful, try techniques, and adjust based on goals and feedback. Clients participate in setting outcomes and choosing which tools to use.
