Client-Centered and CBT Options for Online Support

Dawn Rayburn uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the person is seen as the expert of their experience. This approach focuses on active listening, empathy, and building on existing strengths to address issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and parenting concerns.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, learn practical coping skills, and develop strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and impulsivity. CBT tends to be structured and goal-oriented, which can be useful for people seeking clear tools and short-term plans.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dawn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, reduce travel time, and provide more ways to connect with licensed professionals and therapists when support is needed.
