Practical approaches for online change and growth

Dr. Wallace commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce distress and support goal-directed change, which can be useful for self-esteem, workplace challenges, and life transitions. DBT brings attention to emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help people manage impulsivity, strong emotions, and relationship strain.

He also uses mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing when helpful, and he approaches treatment collaboratively. Determining the best mix of methods is part of the early process; the therapist and client review goals and preferences together to shape a plan that feels right for the person’s needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit consistent sessions into busy lives and to practice skills between meetings, while allowing a licensed professional to provide guidance and support from a distance.
