Online Therapy Grounded in Practical Tools and Compassion
Skip Dettman integrates approaches that help clients feel heard while also building skills they can use in daily life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore emotions at their own pace, clarify what matters most, and strengthen self-understanding during stress, grief, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps connect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, making it easier to notice unhelpful patterns and practice more workable responses to anxiety, low mood, or self-esteem concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness, which can be especially useful when emotions feel intense or overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Skip works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting the pace and focus as needs change over time.
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 fit support into a busy schedule, continue care during life changes, and choose a format that feels comfortable from session to session.
