Therapeutic Approaches and Virtual Care

Tenesha draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive atmosphere where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes active listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients feel heard and can explore personal goals and values.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is well suited to addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns by offering practical strategies for coping and problem solving.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered when clients need tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tenesha works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the plan over time, adjusting techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy with Tenesha is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for clients to attend sessions from home, maintain continuity of care, and fit therapy into busy lives while working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in these approaches.
