Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk openly and clarify what they want from therapy. This approach can be especially helpful when working through stress, self-esteem concerns, and relationship challenges, because it centers the client’s pace and priorities.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-based approach that helps clients notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practice new ways of responding. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress management by building practical tools that can be applied between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be a strong fit for clients who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or who want support strengthening coping strategies and day-to-day stability.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Loretta Samenga works collaboratively with clients to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she can adjust the focus as therapy progresses.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and to stay consistent, even during demanding weeks.How much experience does Loretta Samenga have?
