Approaches to Try in Online Work

Sandra commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own answers, which can be useful when someone needs space to sort feelings or make decisions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change unhelpful habits.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation or strong reactions are a concern. DBT offers clear tools for managing intense feelings, improving distress tolerance, and practicing interpersonal skills that help in stressful relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which techniques fit a person's needs and life circumstances.
