Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Courtney DeFlanders draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people online. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a warm, accepting space where the person’s own goals and experiences guide the work - this approach is useful for self-exploration, relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD-related challenges, and self-esteem issues. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when emotion regulation and coping with intense feelings are central goals, offering concrete skills for managing strong reactions and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Courtney will collaborate with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. This collaborative stance helps shape a treatment plan that feels manageable and meaningful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life changes, and access support from licensed professionals and therapists in a way that suits individual routines and comfort levels.
