Approaches that guide online work

Pascale combines client-centered listening with practical skills to help people manage emotions and make daily changes. Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation is guided by the person’s concerns and values, and the therapist follows the client’s pace while offering support and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to relieve symptoms like anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication, which can help with anger and relationship stress.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Pascale will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change and new skills are practiced.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up between visits through reading and homework assignments. It also supports flexible scheduling for short check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on what the client and therapist agree will be most helpful.
