Therapeutic approaches and online care with a licensed psychologist

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership in which the therapist listens closely and supports clients as they explore their values and goals. This approach helps people who need a collaborative space to build self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and difficulties with coping and executive functioning. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people find their own reasons for change and strengthen motivation, often useful for parenting goals, behavior change, and navigating ambivalence.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Dr. Cabuhat works collaboratively with clients and their families to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by making sessions accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to engage in care from familiar settings, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of treatment despite geographic or time constraints while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
