Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Anthia Casanova integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and building a trusting therapeutic relationship, helping clients feel heard and supported as they explore their own goals. CBT provides practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills when needed. Licensed professionals trained in these methods adapt techniques to each person's situation, and Anthia collaborates with clients to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is decided together in a collaborative way.

Online therapy with Anthia offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life or to stay connected from different locations. These options allow therapists and clients to work together consistently, focusing on progress and practical strategies while accommodating each client’s schedule and communication style.
