Applying Therapeutic Approaches to Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and personal goals, creating a supportive space where the therapist follows the client's lead to build insight and self-directed change. It is especially useful for people who want a collaborative, strengths-based process to address relationship issues, self-esteem, or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This practical approach offers tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and recurring patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it a strong option for clients who need structured strategies to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Bass-Carrigan collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice new skills between sessions with guidance from a licensed professional.
