Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Good blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities so goals come from what matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills to help people manage intense feelings and relationship struggles.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then recommend strategies to try. Many people begin with a mix of methods and adjust what they do as progress is made and needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work in real time and practice skills with visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or suit someone who prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing skill practice, and when shorter, more frequent touchpoints help maintain momentum.
