How therapeutic methods are used in online sessions
Dominque draws on client-centered methods that prioritize listening and understanding the person's perspective. That approach helps people feel heard while identifying values and goals that matter in everyday life.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques, which focus on recognizing unhelpful thoughts and testing changes through real-world behavioral experiments. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress with concrete skills. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are used for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with impulsivity, relationship conflict, and trauma-related reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and using brief assessments to check progress.
