Remote sessions using client-centered and skills-based methods
Dr. Zauditu McCants offers online care that combines Client-Centered Therapy with structured, skills-based methods. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions around the individual’s perspective and priorities, creating space for people to set the agenda and shape goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting thought and behavior patterns, while Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
These approaches are used collaboratively: Dr. McCants partners with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, whether that means exploring relationship dynamics, addressing trauma-related responses, or building coping tools for mood and anxiety concerns. Telehealth sessions are available through video calls and phone, and ongoing communication can include live chat or text-based messaging. Those options allow the therapist and client to find a rhythm that fits scheduling and day-to-day needs without changing the therapeutic focus.
Online sessions follow the same professional structure as in-person work, with an emphasis on clear goal setting, skill practice, and tailoring interventions to what the individual identifies as most important.
