Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities, with the therapist following the client's lead and building goals around what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and sets practical aims for change.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches straightforward skills to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift them into more useful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and problems with sleep or eating because it gives clear tools to try between sessions.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds emotion regulation and distress-tolerance techniques that are useful when emotions feel overwhelming. These skills help reduce reactive responses and support steadier daily routines.

Tandi treats finding the right mix of approaches as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try techniques together, and adjust plans based on what works. The aim is a tailored path that fits the client's life and needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are close to in-person conversation, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins, and text options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days. These options help people keep consistency and access care around work, caregiving, or travel.
