Therapeutic Approaches Natalie Uses for Online Care
Natalie frequently incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in online sessions. DBT focuses on teaching concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective interpersonal interaction - it is often used when strong emotions, relationship conflicts, or patterns of impulsive behavior create ongoing difficulty.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT emphasizes practical exercises and goal-oriented strategies that address anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems by changing how someone thinks and acts in everyday situations.
Mindfulness therapy is another component of her practice, offering simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness techniques can support coping with stress, improve attention to personal values, and complement skills learned in CBT or DBT.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Natalie works with each person to explore what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, accommodate geographic or mobility constraints, and choose the format that feels most approachable for the individual. Licensed professionals can deliver these approaches effectively in remote formats while tailoring pacing and tools to each client’s situation.
