Online support

Approaches that translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, social anxiety, and managing stress. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with strong emotions and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals and what feels doable. Sessions may combine elements of CBT and DBT or draw on mindfulness and motivational interviewing depending on needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to ongoing support. Video calls let people use face-to-face time for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options help people keep therapy consistent while managing busy schedules.
