Therapeutic approaches and online options
Dr. Klee uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to the person and build on their strengths. This approach is useful for people who want a respectful, listening-based process that honors their goals.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT can help with sleep struggles, low mood, anxiety, and habit changes.
Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used when emotion regulation and interpersonal skills need attention. Those strategies offer concrete tools for handling strong feelings and improving communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust over time based on what helps.
