Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well Online
Dawn Cheetham draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. In a client-centered approach, the focus is on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client sets the pace and priorities, which can be especially helpful when discussing stress, grief, caregiver strain, or life changes that feel hard to share elsewhere.CBT is more structured and skill-focused, helping clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and experiment with practical strategies to shift emotions and behaviors. This approach is often useful for concerns such as anxiety, panic symptoms, depression, anger, and self-esteem challenges, especially when a person wants tools they can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dawn collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what is getting in the way, and choose strategies that fit the client’s preferences and day-to-day reality, adjusting the plan as needs change.
Online therapy adds flexibility and access by allowing sessions through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This makes it easier to get support around work and family demands, maintain continuity during busy seasons, and choose the format that feels most comfortable.
