Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dashon blends Existential Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to guide online work. Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, values, and choices when life feels uncertain or empty. Client-Centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and letting the person lead the conversation so they feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors that reduce symptoms.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Dashon will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then shape sessions together. She often mixes methods so clients get both self-reflection and practical skills based on their needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for fuller conversation and skill coaching, while phone can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, skill reminders, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try approaches that match the person's day-to-day routine.
