Approaches and flexibility for online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying helpful and unhelpful thought patterns and using practical exercises to change behaviors and emotional responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties and emphasizes skills that can be practiced between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to reduce overwhelming emotions and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively to determine what methods fit a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans evolve over time, and clients and therapist review progress together to adjust techniques and focus as needed.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or access care from different locations within the therapist's service area. These formats allow for regular contact, flexible scheduling, and a variety of options to match how a client prefers to communicate during the course of therapy.
