Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing self-destructive reactions, which can help with emotional instability, crisis management, and relationship stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help clients explore values and goals and build self-directed changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Angela works collaboratively with clients to determine which strategies best match each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She personalizes interventions and adjusts methods as work progresses to ensure a good fit.
