Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Klee uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's own goals and values lead the work; this approach helps people build confidence and clarify priorities. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and motivation concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are integrated when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are central challenges, offering practical tools for managing intense feelings.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client explore which methods match the client's needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so the work remains a good fit as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across changes in life circumstances and allow clients to select the interaction mode that feels most comfortable while working on family, relationship, emotional, and behavioral concerns.
