Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It uses structured techniques such as behavioral experiments and thought records to create measurable change and practical coping strategies.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It blends skills training with mindfulness practices to help people manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be a collaborative effort. The therapist will work with each person to evaluate needs, preferences, and goals and may combine elements from different modalities to form a tailored plan that feels comfortable and useful.

Online therapy here is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain regular contact between appointments when useful, and practice skills in day-to-day contexts while working toward therapeutic goals.
