Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and integrating painful memories and their effects, with attention to reducing symptoms that follow traumatic experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ellen collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques to the individual, combining approaches as appropriate and adjusting the plan over time through ongoing conversation and feedback.
Online therapy with Ellen is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and for choosing the format that feels most comfortable. These options can make it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, health, and geographic constraints, and they support a range of therapeutic activities from skills practice to deeper processing work with licensed professionals.
