Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Dawn Brumfield draws from approaches that can be especially helpful when you want both insight and practical tools. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients set the pace, clarify what matters most, and build self-trust - a strong fit for stress, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then replace them with more workable strategies. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, and coping with change by turning goals into concrete steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationships, which can be useful when emotions feel intense or hard to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dawn works collaboratively with clients to understand needs, goals, and preferences, and then adjusts the pace and tools over time so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with therapy while balancing work, school, family responsibilities, or shifting schedules.
