How Dianne’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience so they feel heard and can set goals that matter to them. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and make choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep a problem going, then tests small changes to reduce distress. It is useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks big problems into manageable steps.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping, especially when reactions feel overwhelming. DBT skills can include emotion regulation and distress tolerance exercises that people practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust as needed. This collaborative planning helps ensure the work stays relevant to everyday life.
