Background and approach
Dr. Cabuhat blends several approaches to match each person's needs. Cognitive behavioral techniques help with thinking patterns and behavior change.
Client-centered methods keep the work grounded in the person’s goals and values. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices support emotion regulation and stress management. Her background includes work with adolescents and parents, and experience navigating school systems and Individualized Education Program issues.
She has helped people dealing with executive functioning challenges, social anxiety, self-harm, and the effects of physical or emotional trauma. Sessions aim to be collaborative and respectful. Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.
The overall aim is to help people gain tools, increase confidence, and move toward the life they want.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people can set their own goals and move at their own pace. It helps when someone wants supportive, nonjudgmental guidance and clearer priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related thinking and routines.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what feels useful and doable for the person and their family situation.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for in-depth conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging make brief check-ins or weekly skill reminders easier to fit into a busy schedule. These options aim to give flexibility so therapy can fit into school, work, and family life.
