Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation by teaching practical skills that can be applied day to day. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - approaches that can be particularly helpful for intense emotional states and relationship patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps clients explore and strengthen their own motivation for change, often useful for substance use concerns or ambivalence about treatment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Lance Lashley collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps tailor treatment to what works best for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate mobility or health limitations, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible. Licensed professionals can deliver effective, focused support through these formats while working with clients toward measurable goals.
