Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership in which the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports the person’s own insights and strengths; it is well suited for people seeking validation and clearer self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and pattern change because exercises and skill practice can be done between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies with skills training in areas like emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and it can help clients manage intense emotions and improve interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Brett works collaboratively with clients to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes trying techniques, evaluating what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or manage mobility and location constraints. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent care, practice skills in real time, and maintain continuity of support even when in-person visits are not possible.
