How Tawana’s Approaches Can Work Online
Tawana draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to guide her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people set their own goals; it can help when someone needs a supportive space to talk through loss or parenting stress. CBT looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and stress. DBT provides tools for managing intense emotions and improving coping skills, which can be useful for people facing grief, caregiver burnout, or control issues.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest strategies that fit their situation. That partnership helps shape how sessions proceed and which methods are emphasized over time.
