Online support
Approaches that fit online care
Sheila often uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities, helping people feel heard and supported as they decide goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.She also brings elements of dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT-style skills teach ways to manage strong feelings, handle conflict, and reduce impulsive responses, which can be useful for moods, anger, and addiction challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheila will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative - goals can shift and strategies can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions can make fitting therapy into life easier. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a work break, and live chat or text messaging offer quick check-ins or short skill practice between meetings. These options give flexibility to use tools and techniques in ways that match each person's routine.
