How her approaches shape online collaboration
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience and following their lead, helping people feel heard and clearer about what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions, which can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Dashon will help clients identify which methods match their goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress and needs change. The process is collaborative and paced to the individual.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins between in-person visits. It can also let people engage in therapy from a quieter place, use video when helpful, or choose audio-only when that better suits the moment. Discussing these preferences early helps set up sessions that work with everyday life.
