Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and support so the client can explore identity and personal meaning at their own pace. This approach suits people seeking understanding and encouragement as they work through questions of purpose and emotional discomfort.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and learning practical techniques to change them. It is often used to address symptoms that interfere with daily functioning and to build coping skills for stress and life challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, helping people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mark Duarte works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as those needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into varied schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals when support is needed most.
