How Tandi’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person's priorities. The therapist supports clients in naming goals and choosing the next steps, which helps when people want practical short-term changes or deeper personal work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small experiments to change them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and sleep problems by giving clear homework and skill practice.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship skills. Those tools help when emotions feel overwhelming or when interpersonal conflicts are a repeated pattern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Plans can change as progress is reviewed so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins on tough days. It can also let people try skills in real-life settings and bring that experience back to sessions for discussion.
