Online support

How these approaches work online

Dr. Hughes commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety or low mood and then testing and changing those thoughts through practical exercises. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage strong feelings and reduce impulsive reactions.

He also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify what matters most to them and build internal motivation for change. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process, and he works with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, values, and preferences. That way the plan feels realistic and relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow in-depth conversations with visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while keeping the focus on practical, goal-driven work.
