Dr. Zauditu McCants, LICSW, LCSW

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online care

Dr. McCants draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy, building trust, and helping clients explore their own goals and values so they can find their own solutions; it is helpful for improving self-understanding and interpersonal relationships. CBT targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT emphasizes skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Dr. McCants works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time based on progress and feedback so therapy stays aligned with what matters to the client.

Online therapy with Dr. McCants is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for differing schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other responsibilities while still working with licensed professionals who can support coping, communication, and life changes.
