Her style centers on collaboration and respect, helping people set meaningful goals and develop practical coping strategies that fit their daily lives.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, respect, and collaboration. It gives clients control over their goals and pacing and is especially helpful for building trust, exploring identity, and working through trauma or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and patterns of behavior. It often proves useful for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and challenges related to substance use by teaching practical skills for problem solving and mood management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can benefit people who experience intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship difficulties by offering concrete strategies to cope and communicate more effectively.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lanette will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy makes it possible to connect with licensed professionals from home or elsewhere through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide added flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions, and allow therapists to tailor how sessions happen to fit each person's routine and comfort.
