How therapy approaches shape online work

Victoria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside client-centered care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger by giving practical steps to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills, which is useful for managing intense reactions and improving relationships. Client-centered methods prioritize the person’s experience and pace, helping people feel heard and respected as they set goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, what has worked before, and personal preferences. Together they try strategies and adjust the plan over time so it fits the person's needs and life demands.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to homework and skill practice between meetings, which can be easier to track with online scheduling and notes. Licensed professionals can support building consistent routines and practical skills even when sessions happen remotely.
