Evidence-Informed Tools, Delivered Online
Cathi Brisart, LCSW draws from several established approaches to help clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions in a practical, supportive way.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, respectful relationship where the client’s pace and priorities guide the work. It can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, sorting through complex feelings, and finding direction during major changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions. By identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and experimenting with new responses, clients can develop coping skills that support steadier mood and more effective day-to-day functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication. This approach can be useful when emotions feel intense or overwhelming and when relationships or transitions are hard to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cathi collaborates with each client to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts strategies over time to fit the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent with support, even with a busy schedule or changing responsibilities.
