Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Care

Dr. Kristin Good draws on several well-established therapeutic approaches to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's priorities; it helps people clarify values, build confidence, and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns through practical, skills-based strategies and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be valuable for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Good works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic constraints. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent, skills-focused care in ways that fit each person's life and routine.
