Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress-related concerns and helps clients develop practical skills to change how they think and act.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and patterns of reactivity, offering concrete tools to manage crises and build healthier connections.
Mindfulness-based approaches teach present-moment awareness and acceptance to reduce rumination and increase emotional balance. These techniques often complement CBT and DBT and can support coping with grief, trauma reactions, and ongoing stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Allison works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to adapt methods over time so that therapy fits each person’s life and challenges. Licensed professionals commonly integrate these methods to create a tailored plan.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity across life transitions, and access a therapist from home or other convenient locations.
