Online support

Using therapy approaches online to build skills and make change

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into smaller parts and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It gives step-by-step tools to manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive or harmful reactions, which can be useful for anger, impulsivity, and mood instability.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and commitment for goals like reducing substance use or improving routines.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that seem to fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what is not.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let a therapist and client work face-to-face when schedules or distance make in-person visits difficult. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text sessions are useful for quick support, coaching between sessions, or when messaging fits a person’s routine. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family life.
