Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often using practical exercises and homework to address anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting the client's own goals, creating a space where people can explore feelings and values at their own pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines validation with skills training in areas like emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach often happens together - the therapist and client will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods over time so the plan fits the individual. This collaborative process helps identify whether skills-focused work, deeper exploration, or a blend of approaches is best.

Online therapy with Tiffany is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain regular appointments, practice skills between sessions, and access support from where the client is located, while allowing clinicians to tailor exercises and interventions to the way each person prefers to work.
