Therapeutic approaches for online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors that contribute to distress. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and sleep or eating concerns by teaching practical skills and structured strategies.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on building skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT can be especially useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and coping with self-destructive urges.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and reducing their ongoing impact, using targeted interventions to help people regain a sense of safety and control after abuse or other traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Licensed professionals work collaboratively with each person to choose and adapt methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences so that treatment fits the client rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and geographic constraints. These options make it easier to access consistent care from therapists and to use brief tools and between-session support when helpful.
