Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist, emphasizing empathy, listening, and working at the client's pace. It helps when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings and set personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical steps to change patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, using techniques for distress tolerance and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lara will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Together you can adjust strategies over time so sessions feel relevant and useful rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face to face when you want deeper conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between longer meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
