How Angie’s methods translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. It emphasizes understanding the client's perspective and helping them name what matters most. This approach helps with stress, grief, and relationship concerns by keeping the conversation grounded in the client’s experience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses clear exercises and small homework tasks to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Angie will work with clients to try approaches, notice what helps, and adjust the plan. Goals and preferences guide which techniques are used and how sessions are structured.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises or skill practice in between meetings to reinforce progress.
