Approaches and Online Therapy Options
Anna McDonald integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and creating a supportive environment where clients set the pace and priorities; it helps people feel heard while exploring values and personal goals. CBT is a skills-based approach that identifies patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to symptoms like anxiety or low mood and teaches practical techniques to shift those patterns. DBT offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships by combining acceptance with change-focused strategies, which can be helpful for emotion regulation and interpersonal difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anna collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment feels relevant and effective for each person.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility in how and when people access care. Video calls and phone sessions provide real-time conversations similar to in-person visits, while live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support and convenience between scheduled sessions. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain consistent contact with a therapist from different locations.
