This case report discusses the psychotherapy and supervision process of a 28-year-old
female client with a dog phobia using the framework of cognitive behavioral therapy. The
first section delves into the client’s life history, the reason for seeking therapy, the primary
issues, and the progression of these issues. We describe the cognitive-behavioral therapy
process and the clinical follow-up. We mentioned the topics covered in the sessions and
detailed the techniques used. The therapy resulted in a decrease or even the disappearance
of the client’s dog phobia. The therapist administered the Specific Phobia Scale in the first
and last sessions, scoring 34 in the first session and 0 in the last session. We anticipate that
the results of this study will shed light on the suitability of cognitive behavioral therapy
for specific phobias and the impact of online therapy.
